Herrero leads Euskaltel in Switzerland

By Antonio J. Salmerón

David Herrero, second in the final general classification of the Euskal Bizikleta, will be the leader of the Basque Euskaltel-Euskadi team at the Tour de Suisse, taking place from June 10-18. Herrero will be accompanied by Unai Etxebarria, Iker Flores, Andoni Aranaga, Rubén Pérez, Markel Irizar, Joseba Zubeldia and neo-pro Alan Pérez, the latest acquisition of the orange squad after having to replace Roberto Laiseka, who crashed heavily in stage 12 of the Giro d'Italia and was forced to abandon.
