Mikel Landa will race the Itzulia next week as a guide for Evenepoel. The Basque cyclist is second in the Volta behind Pogacar.

“Remco is a rider that I like, who attracts me”, says Landa. Landa: “Failures are not seen as much when you are gregarious, but I am still hungry”“Being Remco's last man also has its pressure. You have to be there, on the last climb, in the best conditions”
