Reynolds
1980

After a 4-year career in the amateur team, José Miguel Echávarri joins the professional squad’s staff. With his arrival as a work force, and together with the backing by Juan García Barberena, chairman of Inasa, the project takes a quantum leap as Reynolds embarks on the pro adventure with 12 riders. His striking pink outfit soon makes a place into the peloton and the victories, already prestigious, do not take long to arrive. Dominique Arnaud gets the first stage victory by the team in the Vuelta a España at León.
