He is Carlos Barbero Cuesta, some commentators forget or don't know and call the spaniards for the last name.

Yes I know, and that is why I'm saying that the commentators probably didn't know the rider and were just going by their list. It's a bit like calling Contador Alberto Velasco.

Libertine Seguros said:They still stand out massively on the startlist, because it's not the type of race you expect to see them at. However, they don't have wildcards for the Dauphiné or Suisse, and there's a lull on the Spanish calendar now until mid-July for the start of the Vuelta warmups, so I guess they're looking to capitalize on the strong run they're on and taking quite a few unusual races.
