Oier Lazkano López (born 7 November 1999, in Vitoria-Gasteiz) is a Spanish cyclist, who as of 2025[update] rides for UCI WorldTeam Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe.[4]
Lazkano was provisionally suspended by the UCI on 30 October 2025, due to "unexplained abnormalities" in his biological passport, a record of an athlete's biomarkers over time.[5] Lazkano issued a statement that he "never used doping substances or prohibited methods" and will contest the suspension.[6]
Lazkano turned professional in 2020 with Caja Rural–Seguros RGA, after riding with the team as a stagiaire the year prior.[7] In September, he took his first pro win on stage three of the Volta a Portugal. He entered his first Grand Tour the following year, Vuelta a España, where he was given the combativity award on stage five after spending most of the day in the breakaway.[8]
In 2022, Lazkano joined Movistar Team on a three year contract, and won a stage of the Tour de Wallonie.[9] In June 2023, he became the Spanish road race champion, after a successful spring season, winning the Boucles de la Mayenne and finishing second at the Dwars door Vlaanderen. In August, he won a stage of the Vuelta a Burgos.[10]
In February 2024, he soloed to a win at the Clásica Jaén Paraíso Interior one-day race, followed by placing third in Kuurne–Brussels–Kuurne two weeks later.[11]
