The Spanish Teams





Is a new team this year from Spain and it has been fun to watch their guys in the break-aways.  They have some new talent on their team and it will be interesting to watch them develop in the next few years. 


  The team is commercially sponsored, but also works as an unofficial Basque national team and is partly funded by the Basque Government. Its riders are either Basque, or at least have grown up in the Basque cycling culture. Its sponsor is Euskaltel, a Basque telecom company. 



Team Caissi D'Epargne was founded in 1980 as team Reynolds and has many different names since and in 2005 became Caisse D'Epargne.  In 2006 Óscar Pereiro was given the victory for the Tour after Landis was disqualified for testing positive.  Enjoy joy watching this team fight it out with Radio Shack for the team overall jersey. 



Lord,
we thank you for the Spanish teams and as we ride through the mountains which border their homeland, I pray they will have a good showing for their fans.  Lord, I also pray for their knowledge of you.  I pray that they will come to know you as their personal Savior.  I pray for those who are working in the country of Spain preaching and sharing your love.  Thank you for loving us and giving us your son as our sacrifice.  Lord, help these young men come to understand and live in your love.  I pray in the name of Jesus.  Amen
