Egoitz Murgoitio is one of the most promising cyclo-cross riders in Spain. The athlete from Abadiño, Vizcaya, a former road bicycle racer of Nicolás Mateos, has combined road cycling and cyclo-cross racing since he was a cadet, and through his stages as a junior and U23 rider. It was only in 2009 that he decided to focus fully on cyclo-cross, achieving great results. He was Euskadi Champion and took the bronze medal in the Spanish Championship in 2010. He has basked in seven victories this year, thus showing why he has become one of the leading cyclo-cross figures at the national level. This type of explosive, short races really suit Murgoitio, as they bring out racers' riding skill. It seems that he has found the ideal discipline on muddy ground, and discovered the perfect tool to be the best in his BH RX1.
