Encyclopedia
Euskaltel-Euskadi is a professional road bicycle racing
team from Spain
. The team is commercially sponsored, but also works as an unofficial Basque national team and is partly funded by the Basque Government
. Its riders are either from Basque Country, or at least have grown up in the cycling culture of those regions. Its sponsor is Euskaltel
, a Basque telecom company. Euskatel-Euskadi is famous for its all-orange team kits, and it has been known to hand out orange Euskaltel t-shirts and Basque flags
to fans when the Tour de France
makes a swing into the Basque Country
.
After a breakthrough 2003 Tour de France
during which both Iban Mayo
and Haimar Zubeldia
finished in the top-10 of the general classification, with Mayo winning the Alpe d'Huez
stage, Euskaltel-Euskadi was considered to be a strong contender for the 2004 Tour de France
. Iban Mayo's commanding victory in the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré stage race (traditionally seen as one of the tests for Tour de France contenders), including defeating Lance Armstrong
in the Mont Ventoux
hill climb individual time trial
stage, further fueled the hype. Unfortunately, Mayo was injured in a crash on a pavé section of an early stage of the Tour de France, and abandoned in the first Pyrénées
stage. Zubeldia also failed to deliver in the same edition of Tour de France, to the chagrin of Basque fans lining the road. "I wish that our uniform was not so easy to spot," admitted directeur sportif Julian Gorospe
.
In the 2005 season the team recruited Aitor González
, who won the Tour de Suisse
. They again failed to make an impression in the 2005 Tour de France
.
Created in 1994, the team has participated in eight Tours de France with four stage wins, most recently in 2011
. In 2006 the sporting director Julian Gorospe
was replaced by Igor González de Galdeano
, who became technical secretary, and the team budget is $7.8 million.
