Euskaltel and Burgos oppose the Tour de France 2027

With the 2026 season over, all teams are already fully focused on preparing for the next season: latest reinforcements, planning, calendars, etc.. Some have ended the year with a bad taste, while others have closed it happy and some even in an unbeatable way.

It is the case of Euskaltel-Euskadi and Burgos Burpellet BHwho have had a campaign of ups and downs – some more than others – but have managed to achieve their objective: finish within the top-30 UCI. The cut was clear and both teams met it with an unquestionable objective between eyebrows: the Grand Tours.

The pioneer Caja Rural

For the Spanish teams in the ProTeam category, the Vuelta a España is the race of the year, an opportunity to make themselves known to the entire world and a space in which the benefit goes far beyond the media aspect, above all, in the economic aspect and sponsors.

Until the participation of Rural Bank – RGA Insurance in this year’s Tour de France, it was 13 seasons that another Spanish team other than the Movistar Team did not participate in ‘La Grande Boucle’, when Euskaltel-Euskadi was in the game in the 2013 edition.

The participation of Caja Rural has opened the door to Euskaltel and Burgos, who have committed signings as strategic as sportingwhich can make ASO (company that owns and organizes the Tour) see them favorably.

Different points in favor

Both Basques and Burgos have different arguments that can tip the balance in their favor when making the decision.

As for the Burgos Burpellet BHhave had a really good season, adding nine wins and a notable participation in La Vuelta a España, in which he had a great presence, led by a great Mario Aparicio that took a lot of war in the mountains to finish 14th in general. A great result for your team.

In addition, it has been reinforced very well, highlighting three signings from the defunct TotalEnergies: the French Thomas Bonnet, Mattéo Vercher and Mathieu Burgaudeau. The last two, especially, WorldTour-level additions, and whose nationality is a great incentive to receive the call from the Tour de France.

On the part of the Euskaltel – Euskadiin injury time he managed to be among the top 30 of the UCI ranking, in an extraordinary final rush motivated, in large part, by the signing of Mikel Landa.

The Alava cyclist returns to the team that saw him explode in world cycling with the ambition of giving the latest joys to his loyal fans. The presence of Landa, one of the best climbers of this century, It is a magnet for many sponsors, fans and raceswith the Tour as one of them, since the Euskaltel runner was at the presentation of the 2027 route and left the door open.

There are many months ahead, Euskaltel and Burgos have done the work and now it is ASO, as organizer of the Tour de France, who has the last word.
