Hi Guys,

Could one of you please let me know what years Euskaltel rode in the turquoise & white jerseys? If possible, could you also let me know who their top riders were at that time?

Many thanks,

Rob

    Was it not in their pre-World Tour (as it is now!) days? I recall the Orange jersey was about when I was at uni in 2000, but Prendas sold the old Euskadi jersey.

    I'd hazard a guess at 1998. Also, top rider would probably be David Etxebaria.

    Edit- 1995-1997 when the team were Euskadi Petronor and later Equipo Euskadi.

    Here you go!
