The Traineras Club Association (ACT) has opted to increase the quota of Canteranos to four to align this campaign – the next will be … Five – to, according to most members, relaunch the rowing. Time will say if the decision is really effective, although seen the effect that the measure has had during the last decade – you canteen in each gang – it does not seem that it will be the chocolate of the parrot. However, what seems to propitiate this regulation is a change in trend. The last five summers The title of the Eusko Label League has gone to Biscay boats –santurtzi 2020 and 2021 and Urdaibai in 2022, 2023 and 2024–. The same has happened with the flag of the shell. The ‘Sotera’ waved her in 2021 and the ‘Bou Bizkaia’ the three later courses.
Well, according to what has been seen in preseason and in the June championships, it gives the feeling that Orio can break that overwhelming Biscay domain thanks to two fundamental factors. On the one hand, the aforementioned of the rowers of the house. The yellow have more tanned songs, as already made clear in the orders of Mikel Arostegi. In addition, the current Aguilucha directive has shaken its retinctions to the signing policy and has been reinforced with top rowers to cover the shortcomings. In fact, he has incorporated Urdaibai Iker Zabala’s extreme to lead the project and together with him bogators such as Ander Zabala, Andrés Medina, Adrián González, Beñat Egiazu and the most laureate pattern of the moment, Gorka Aranberri. He has also incorporated illustrious veterans such as Iñaki Elorza and Asier Carballeda.
That combination, as could be signed in preseason, generates an explosive cocktail. The ‘San Nikolas’ has reaped the championships of Gipuzkoa, Euskadi and Spain – these last two and 26 years later – and threatens to dye the Cantabrian yellow. His last league title dates from 2019 and in the shell he has not won since 2017, also with Aranberri in the stern and Jon Salsamendi as a coach.
Calendar Regatas Eusko Label-Euskotren
Precisely the Oriotarra coach has taken the A-8 in the opposite direction and faces its second stage in Urdaibai with the challenge of starting a new cycle after the goodbye of several heavyweights of the crew the preceding campaigns-Colunga, Unanue, Azkarate, Azkue-or the march of others to clubs such as Orio, as is the case of Medina and Aranberri. The Bermeotarras have been reinforced with the Galician Javier Sayans and the Mutrikuarra Aritz Urtueta and the veteran pattern Iñigo Larrinaga. For one reason or another, the ‘Bou Bizkaia’ has not offered its best version in the entorchados of June and will have to see how the inclusion of the four quarries affects in its performance.
«It is not a problem of quantity but of quality. We have kids who have a good projection, but they need time, ”Salsamendi said in recent months, aware that he is playing. Both the ‘txos’ and Zierbena have the youngest quarries in the competition. The ‘Galipos’, seconds last campaign in both in the League and in Concha, have also had illustrious casualties such as Fran Montes, Efrén Sánchez, Eladio Sánchez, Breixo Docampo, Andoni García and El Patron, Borja Gómez, but they have recovered rowers who had already been in the club and postulate next to Bermeotarras and Donostiarra to plant battle in all of the fronts.
Salvation
“The team data is good and we are working very well,” says his coach, Dani Pérez. From this list of rival theorists of Orio it has been Donostiarra the one that has been closest to make the yellow knee. The ‘Torrekua’ had to settle for silver in the territorial after being a royal bow for three quarters of the route and also in the regional. On both occasions it ended only three seconds. But all that is already history and it will be water that, as of this Saturday, put each one in place. The Bilbao estuary, with the ikurriñas of Bilbao and Sestao in Liza, will offer the first real clues of where the shots can go in the upper area.
Also expected is a fierce struggle to escape burning. Hondarribia, one of the ‘roosters’ of the last campaigns, has already made it clear through his coach, Mikel Orbañanos, that “the goal is to match the fifth place of the previous year”, while San Juan, just ascended, wants to settle in the second round, just like Getria. The same will look for the other three Biscay boats that compete in the Eusko Label Liga, although it will not be easy. Ondarroa has had to reinvent one more campaign after suffering eight casualties and also Kaiku, which has registered seven outings. Next to them will be a Lekittarra that is based once more in the rowers of the house to continue in the elite. Ares and Cabo Cruz will be some of their rivals in that struggle for salvation.
