Euskadi (UCI team code: ORB) was a Spanish cycling team based in the Basque Country that existed from 2005 to 2014.[1] It was one of the European teams in UCI Continental Tour.
The team functioned as the development team of the original Euskaltel–Euskadi and the unofficial "national" squad of the Basque region. Orbea's team manager, Álvaro González de Galdeano, is the older brother of Igor González de Galdeano, the last manager of Euskaltel. The team focused primarily on young riders, of whom the most successful usually made the transfer to Euskaltel–Euskadi.
