Igor Antón in for Joseba Zubeldia

Euskaltel-Euskadi's line up for the Giro has undergone a slight change, with Igor Antón coming in for Joseba Zubeldia. The latter spent Wednesday night vomiting and with diarrhoea and was forced to withdraw from the team. Neo-pro Antón took part in the Tour de Romandie, where he showed he could handle racing at that level.
