DAVID ARROYO

'David Arroyo Durán' (born 7 January 1980 in Talavera de la Reina, Toledo) is a Spanish professional road bicycle racer, riding on the UCI ProTeam Caisse d'Epargne. He is considered one of the best climbers on the team along with team leader Alejandro Valverde and Óscar Pereiro. After Valverde crashed during one of the flat stages on the first week of the 2006 Tour de France, Arroyo was considered the leader of his team. This was until Pereiro claimed the leader's yellow jersey after being given a half-hour advantage by Floyd Landis' Phonak team. Arroyo's job after this was to help Pereiro in the high mountain climbs.
His only victories came at the 2004 Volta a Portugal, where he won two stages, the mountains competition and the young riders competition.
