    I thought I saw one last year, but it turned out to be a Katusha rider

    Perhaps Orbea have enough of seeing Bouhanni act the knob on top of their bikes
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    I don't think it's an act.

    Seriously though, the Euskadi-Murias team has moved up to Pro Continental level for next season and they ride Orbeas. There's also a Basque Continental development team which they'll probably back too.

    Some say they won a stage in the Tour de Yorkshire. Others say this is a myth, only believed by the superstitious locals, driven insane by the wild and misty moors.

    Still others say a man in a red kit barged to the front to cross the line first in Catalunya, and yet no-one there that day can swear they didn't dream it in a fit of heatstroke.

    Didn't know that, good info, are they going to be sporting the green jersey, would love to see a Basque team back in orange in the big races.

    A wave of mis-placed French patriotism to get a tour slot, and a bag of sponsors cash to grab a Vuelta appearance.

    I think I saw Kuota somewhere. I could have misremembered though.

    Don't ring a bell near Bouhanni, he'll come out swinging.

    I think Cofidis are down for some billboards at the Vuelta.
