According to El Diario Vasco the Spaniard Markel Irizar, 29, will ride for Lance Armstrong’s Team Radioshack.
Markel Irizar leaves Euskaltel-Euskadi after five years to join Team Radioshack, although he had been working with his team on a renewal contract.
Markel Irizar finished 18th in Tour Down Under 2009, and won the mountains classification. At RadioShack he will be joining Haimar Zubeldia, who is also from the Basque province Gipuzkoal.
Lance Armstrong lent his support with a letter when Irizar went through treatment for testicular cancer in 2002. He recovered completely, joined team Euskaltel-Euskadi in 2004 and later met Armstrong at races.
Irizar has not yet commented the move to Team Radioshack.
