Kelme Pro Cycling Team (Spain) - 1980-2006

26 years is a long time to sponsor a team, and Kelme makes fine shoes. For some in this team it indeed was a long walk (some of it drug fueled). Kelme are shoes with bikes supplied by Gios & Merckx. Sub sponsors were Ibexpress, Artiach, Varta (car batteries), Costa Blanca (tourism), Eurosport (tv channel) & Communidad Valenciana (local government). The jersey … was something that never but never comes out of your wardrobe, its a shocker.

Results had a real Spanish flavour, except for maybe some Tour de France highlights. Heras won the Tour of Spain in 2000, and Gonzalez won the Spanish Tour in 2002. Jesus Manzano flagged the doping issue in 2004 and showed what a dodgy lot they really were - Valverde, Heras, Belda, Gonzalez, Sevilla, Casero & Escartin. Spanish teams don’t really figure highly in this column …. not a surprise really.
