Gorka Beloki, new head of the Contador Foundation youth team: “I am passionate about training, it is the purest form of cycling”

The Gipuzkoan coach Gorka Beloki (Beasain, 1978) joins the management structure of the Contador Foundation for the 2023 season, in which he will be more specifically, although not exclusively, in charge of the supervision and management of the U19 structure. The Cantabrian Guillermo Gutiérrez will not continue in the same team this coming season after ten seasons as director. Beloki will work closely with Rafa Díaz Justo. “We want to strengthen the harmony with the U23 structure to enhance the weight of the U19 squad as its nursery and quarry”, tells.

Beloki thus returns to a structure in which he already carried out management duties during the 2017 season and which also had a couple of episodes during the second part of the recently completed 2022 campaign: he directed the juniors in the Vuelta a Valladolid and was in charge of the U23 team, also present those days in the Volta a la Provincia de la Valencia, in the Vuelta a Salamanca.
