No Giro in 2009 for Euskaltel
According to trustworthy Basque daily el Diario Vasco, the team will not compete in next year's Giro d'Italia. The reduction in riders from 26 to 22 will also mean a reduction in races. The Giro, along with the Tour Down Under, the Tour de Pologne, and of course the cancelled Deutschland Tour, will not not see Euskaltel at the start-line. Thank God is all I'm going to say. It was, really, about time the Giro got off the team's calendar.

Yeah, I'm glad about this too! This is the way the teams are going now, back to something similar to the way it was before the Pro Tour, and that's great. Also from an audience point of view it will be good to see the Giro/Vuelta an such without several C-teams...
