The Euskaltel-Euskadi team for the 2012 will be looking to provide a platform for Samuel Sanchez to repeat his maillot pois performance from last year. There may be opportunities for stage wins in the team but it will be the Sammy Sanchez show. Gorka Izagirre Insausti will be an ally in mountains as Sanchez won't be able to call upon the help of Alberto Contador as he was able to last year.
Euskaltel-Euskadi will be hoping for a good Tour to bag World Tour points and ensure that the team survives for the next few seasons as least. Sanchez is the team’s best hope for success but he seems unlikely to be able to reproduce his climbing efforts of 2011. Euskaltel-Euskadi have performed better in the Giro and Vuelta in recent years, Sanchez last year was the exception, but may be able to build upon the success of Sanchez last year.
