Heras leads Liberty in Setmana Catalana

Roberto Heras will start his 2005 season in the Setmana Catalana, which begins next Monday, March 21. Heras will be joined by Marcos Serrano, Isidro Nozal, Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano, Nuno Ribeiro, Alberto Contador, Koldo Gil and Dariusz Baranowski.

Joseba Beloki is still recovering from the 'flu, whereas Michele Scarponi will do the Criterium Internacional instead. The team is confident that Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano, who had to abandon in Paris-Nice, will recover in the next few days and be in good enough condition for Catalana.
