Spanish cycling is also in great time standing out men like Alberto Contador, Carlos Sastre, Alejandro Valverde, Samuel Sanchez, Oscar Freire and Oscar Pereiro among others. They stand out for big titles such as Tour of France (Pereiro in 2006, Sastre in 2008 and Contador in 2007 and 2009), tour of Spain (the last sample was last year winning Alejandro Valverde) and Giro of Italy (Contador won in 2008). Also Spain has won world championships in recent years, highlighting Freire's figure. Alberto Contador, who apart from two Tour of France and the Giro of Italy, has won the Vuelta of Spain besides other titles.

In addition, in the Beijing Olympic Games the gold was obtained in this sport of the hand of Samuel Sanchez.

I have to comment that in the modality of track cycling in the 2008 Olympic Games Spain obtained three medals: a gold medal for the veteran and biggest cyclist Joan Llaneras, a silver medal for Joan Llaneras and Tauler and a bronze one for the cyclist Leire Olaberria.
