Antequera: five sure for the World Championships

By Monika Prell

The Spanish national trainer Francisco Antequera announced on the web page of the Spanish Cycling Federation RFEC that currently only five riders are sure for the World Championships: The triple World Champion Oscar Freire (Rabobank), along with his team-mate Juan Antonio Flecha. Carlos Sastre (CSC) and Samuel Sánchez (Euskaltel Euskadi) will also be there. A question mark is still on Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne). For the Spanish federation there is no doubt he will be racing, however the UCI is trying to prevent this from happening.
