Miguel Indurain

Team:

Banesto

Few items in the museum inspire as much admiration as this 1995 Banesto jersey, associated with the legendary Miguel Induráin. Presented with great ceremony, the jersey commemorates the five-time Tour de France champion’s final year wearing the Banesto colours during his historic fifth consecutive victory in the Tour de France. Induráin was a time-trialist and climber with a powerful ‘diesel engine’, whose calm composure and overwhelming dominance defined an era. The jersey stands out for its iconic status: wearing these colours, Induráin also won two Giro d’Italia titles, came close to a hat-trick (he was world runner-up in 1993) and broke the hour record. The jersey thus stands as a symbol of leadership and excellence, recalling Banesto’s philosophy of combining individual talent with cutting-edge technology (carbon bikes, scientific training) to achieve glory. A jersey that is a relic of ‘Miguelón’, inspiring equal parts respect and nostalgia.
