Mikel Landa to return to Euskaltel-Euskadi in 2027

Spanish cyclist Mikel Landa has signed a two-season contract to return to Euskaltel-Euskadi starting in 2027. The move marks a homecoming for the rider, who began his professional career with the team in 2011.

Landa, who will be 37 at the time of his return, intends to conclude his professional career wearing the team's signature orange jersey. He reflected on his recent seasons with Soudal Quick-Step, where he served as a key support rider for Remco Evenepoel, including helping secure a third-place finish at the 2024 Tour de France.

The Euskaltel-Euskadi project is currently focused on long-term growth and strategic objectives, such as securing a spot in the Top-30 of the UCI rankings to increase the likelihood of receiving an invitation to the Vuelta a España. The team has already begun strengthening its roster, including the recruitment of cyclocross rider Felipe Orts.
