Two more years at Euskaltel for Sánchez

By Antonio J. Salmerón

Euskaltel-Euskadi rider Samuel Sánchez, has renewed his contract with the Basque ProTour team for two more seasons after his previous agreement expired at the end of last week's Euskal Bizikleta.

The 28-year-old said he had chosen to stay with the orange-clad squad despite receiving more lucrative offers from other teams.

Sanchez won two stages of the Vuelta a País Vasco earlier this year, and won a stage of the Vuelta a Espana in 2005.
