Interesting Facts

Cuesta turned professional in 1994 for the Basque Euskadi team. Here, his results included a second place in the Vuelta a Asturia, and then in 1996 he signed a contract with Spanish team ONCE. Cuesta would have to wait until 1998 before he won his first race - the overall victory in the stage race Vuelta al País Vasco. In securing the stage race win, he proved his well-rounded talents as both a climber and time trialist. Cuesta's personal cycling goal for the season is to help Carlos win the 2009 Tour and perhaps win a race of his own.
