San Sebastian Classic headlines trio of Spanish races

UAE Team Emirates will take on three one-day classics races in the northern provinces of Spain this week, with the Emirati squad set for Vuelta Castilla y Leon (29 July), Clasica San Sebastian (31 July) and Circuito de Getxo (1 August).

The squads will strike a balance of both youth and experience with various riders capable of achieving a good result.

Joxean Matxin Fernandez (Team Manager): “ We have a good balance of both youth and experience for San Sebastian. Some riders are coming here with great form and recent good results and others are building towards the Vuelta España so the level of the team is very high.

Experienced campaigners like Ulissi, De La Cruz and Trentin are very familiar with this race and know how to perform well there. We also have a very exciting young prospect in Juan Ayuso who will be making his World Tour debut and has already shown glimpses of what he can do in the professional ranks. I think we have many cards to play for Saturday. ”

Matxin will be joined by Sports Directors Fabrizio Guidi (Ita) and Aurelio Corral (Spa) for San Sebastian and Circuit de Getxo while John Wakefield (RSA) will join Corral for Vuelta Castilla y Leon:
