"BILBAO, SPAIN — From afar, it seems to be a Tour of the Basque Country as in any other year... But look closely... Gone are the big banners promoting Euskadi — the name in Euskara, the Basque language, of this rugged region straddling the Spain-France border. Instead, the podium photo op now features Sabadell Guipuzcoano, a bank that swooped in at the 11th hour last year to save the race from folding for financial reasons." (Quoted from article)
