Seat Orbea Cycling Team (Spain) - 1985-87

Seat was the Spanish version of Fiat, Orbea were the bikes, groupsets were Campagnolo, clothing was Exte Ondo. Team history had a lot before 1985, and plenty afterwards (be it Caja Rural, Paternina or Artiach). Jersey design was very easy on the eye.

Possibly unkind to say it was all about Pedro Delgado or Marino Lejaretta but it really was. Pedro won the 1985 Tour of Spain & Marino won what Pedro didn’t. Matthieu Hermans (Belgium) was the team sprinter and won 9 stages at the Tour of Spain
