Did Miguel Indurain ever ride an Orbea? I am told his team was sponsored
by Orbea at some time. If so, does anybody know where I can find a
picture of him on an Orbea? I can only find Pinarellos.
Thanks.

GaryIt could be that during his early amateur career he was. He got hooked up
with the Reynolds team fairly young. I know I saw something about his first
years and I just can't remember. He was on a Pinarello or TVT for his entire
pro career. -
This is what the Orbea Pro Shop says about one of their T-shirts:
"Orange Stripe T
$21.00
This classic Orbea logo adorned the jersey of "Big Mig" back when he was
riding Orbeas. Now we've put it on this retro striped T for your apres
ride pleasure. Slim fitting."That's why I am asking.

GaryYes he did. Maybe only one year as a neo-pro, circa 1985. Try searching
for photos of Delgado or even Robert Millar during the 85 Vuelta. You
might find one of then unknown Indurain.... -

I just reviewed the '89 Tour and Indurain was a flunky on Delgado's team and
was plainly riding a Pinarello in what I think was his first Tour. -
