After that he joined the local CC Villavés and rode his first race in July 1978 in which he came second, however he won his second race and competed every week. His hero in cycling was Bernard Hainault. At 18 he was the youngest winner of the National Amateur Road Championship.
    Indurain won five consecutive Tours de France from 1991 to 1995. He won the Giro d’Italia twice, becoming one of only seven people in history to achieve the Giro-Tour double in the same season.
