Jon Aberasturi Izaga (born 28 March 1989) is a Spanish cyclist, who currently rides for UCI ProTeam Euskaltel–Euskadi. [6] [7]
Following a very successful 2017 season where he took 7 professional victories he had trouble finding a contract and even considered retirement. Included in those wins is Stage 1 of the 2.HC rated Tour of Qinghai Lake. [8] He ended up signing for UCI Professional Continental team Euskadi–Murias. [9] In August 2018, he was named in the startlist for the Vuelta a España. [10] He was disqualified from the 2021 Tour de Luxembourg for using the 'Super-Tuck'. The 'Super-Tuck' is a position on the bike which was banned by the UCI who deemed it dangerous. Aberasturi was fined 500 Swiss francs and lost 15 UCI points for the season. [11] Aberasturi signed with Euskaltel–Euskadi for the 2024 season. He had previously rode for the team in 2017 and was supported by the Euskaltel Foundation throughout his youth. [12]
