Iban Mayo Diez, born on 19 August 1977 in Igorre in the Basque Country, is a former professional road bicycle racer from Spain, renowned as a climber. He turned professional with Euskaltel-Euskadi in 2000 and stayed with the team until 2006. His biggest result came at the 2003 Tour de France, where he won a stage up Alpe d'Huez and finished sixth overall. In 2004 he won the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré, beating Lance Armstrong in a time trial on Mont Ventoux, but his Tour that year ended early after a crash and illness. In 2007, riding for Saunier Duval-Prodir, he won stage 19 of the Giro d'Italia. The UCI then confirmed a positive test for EPO taken during that year's Tour de France, and the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld a two-year ban. In September 2009 he decided against a comeback.
