When was the last time the venerable Euskara region had a rainbow jersey?

-Sonarrat.

probably Abraham Olano in 1996 @ the Worlds RR in Colombia, a race that Indurain was integral in
helping him win.

Euskalduna Joane Somarriba wins her rainbow jersey four days ago.

alas you have found my error. '95 it was, 96 was the 'lion of flanders'. olano was world TT champion
in '98 and indurain in '95 as well. so '98 would be the most recent if you count TT's.

The Basques undoubtably whooped that one up and Igor is a star in the region for life.

Spaniards will probably cheer a bit, but by way of recognizing him as a spaniard, not a basque.
