Koldo Gil Pérez (born January 16, 1978 in Pamplona ) is a former Spanish cyclist .

Career

Gil turned pro in 2001 with the Spanish cycling team iBanesto.com . He celebrated his first international success in 2002 on a stage of the Vuelta a La Rioja , but his breakthrough came in the Tour of Catalonia in 2003 with a third place overall. His other successes include u. a. the overall victory of the Tour of Murcia 2005 and a stage victory at the Giro d'Italia 2005 .

At the Tour de Suisse 2006 he initially took second place in the overall standings, just 24 seconds behind the winner Jan Ullrich . Gil had won the sixth stage to La Punt-Chamues-ch and stayed in the lead until the final individual time trial, which he finished in ninth, 1:14 minutes behind Ullrich and thus narrowly missed the Tour victory. Due to a ruling by the International Court of Justice CAS on February 9, 2012 , Ullrich was subsequently stripped of his victory due to his collaboration with Eufemiano Fuentes and his involvement in the doping scandal named after Fuentes . Therefore Gil subsequently moved up to first place in the overall ranking.

Gil himself is said to have been on Fuentes' customer list, which is why his Saunier Duval-Prodir team refused to take part in the tour in the run-up to the Vuelta a España 2006 . In 2009 he announced his resignation. When he resigned, he blamed the UCI for not having found a new team.
