Mikel Landa Meana (born 13 December 1989) is a Spanish professional road cyclist, who rides for UCI WorldTeam Team Bahrain Victorious.[6] His career breakthrough came at the 2015 Giro d'Italia where he won two stages and finished third overall.
Early career
Landa was born in Murgia (Álava), in the Basque Country in northern Spain.[7] Like many Basque cyclists he began his career at the Orbea development team, in 2009, before graduating to the Euskaltel–Euskadi professional team in 2011. After three years with the Euskaltel–Euskadi squad, Landa left the team at the end of the 2013 season – due to its disestablishment – to join Astana.[8] In 2018, as president of the Euskadi Cycling Foundation, a new UCI Continental squad Fundación Euskadi was established, with expectations of returning to the top races.
