Lizarte sponsors an amateur cycling team since 2006, being the director Manolo Azcona. We compete in Élite and Under-23 categories.
The cycling team counts as well with 2 assistants, 1 mechanic and 25 cyclists.
The Lizarte cycling team has obtained numerous successes in amateur cycling. Andrey Amador, Javier Iriarte and Enrique Sanz distinguished as cyclists in this team, and now they form part of professional cycling.
In the current team, Lizarte counts with the Spanish champion of cycle-cross, Javier Ruiz de Larrinaga.
Between all competitions we are going to take part of, we emphasize the cycle race of Bidasoa, the Cycle race of Navarra and the Montañes circuit.
The cycling team is formed by:
José Arcas, Joseba Blázquez, Hugo Busto, Fernando Compaire, Jaume Escorigüela, Martín Eslava, Ander Eslava, Rubén García, Eneko García, David Girona, Iván González, Martín Iráizoz, Imanol Iza, Iñaki Lamarca, Miguel Landa, Rafael Márquez, Víctor Moleón, Armando Ortego, Eric Pedrosa, Adriá Pujol, Santiago Ramírez, Joaquín Sánchez, Asier Sancho, Sergio Tomás.
Between all, there are 3 with proper name:
- Sergio Tomas, who suffered in the year 2010 an accident during a competition in Cantabria and fortunately he is 100% recovered.
- Martín Iráizoz: with big possibilities to become a professional cyclist at the end of the season 2011.
- Eric Pedrosa, brother of the great motorcycle driver Dani Pedrosa, also with big possibilities to take a leap to professional cycling.
As reward for this effort in sports sponsorship, in 2008 the Government of Navarra awarded the Gold Medal for sports sponsorship in Navarra, given by the then Government President of Navarra Miguel Sanz.
