Cycling Disciplines

Ion Izagirre Insausti, born on 4 February 1989 in Ormaiztegi in the Basque Country, is a Spanish professional road cyclist and cyclo-cross rider, sometimes written Jon Izaguirre to keep the correct pronunciation under Castilian orthography. He comes from a family of professional cyclists, since his father José Ramón and his brother Gorka both raced. He joined Euskaltel-Euskadi in 2011, won a stage on his Grand Tour debut at the 2012 Giro d'Italia, won the 2015 Tour de Pologne and took stage 20 of the 2016 Tour de France in Morzine. In his first year with Astana he won the Tour of the Basque Country and the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana, and he later won a Vuelta a España stage and a second Tour de France stage. His 20th career win came in his final professional season.
