Francisco Javier Aramendia Llorente (born 5 December 1986) is a Spanish former professional road bicycle racer, who rode professionally between 2008 and 2016 for the Euskaltel–Euskadi and Caja Rural–Seguros RGA teams.

Career

Aramendia was born in Pamplona. At the 2012 Vuelta a España, Aramendia distinguished himself by being part of numerous long breakaways,[2] earning the Combativity award four times in the process, the most at the Vuelta.[3] It looked like he had a great chance to win the "Most Combative" title for the whole race, but Alberto Contador prevailed.[4] Aramendia was named the most combative rider overall in the 2013 Vuelta a España, after taking the award three times in the individual stages.
