Timeline

1974

Roberto Heras Hernández (born 1 February 1974) is a Spanish former professional road bicycle racer who won the Vuelta a España a record four times.

1995

Heras turned professional in 1995 for the Spanish cycling team Kelme.

1996

His first win as a pro came in 1996 in the Subida al Naranco.

1997

Between 1997 and 2005 he finished in the top 5 of the Vuelta every year except 1998 when he finished 6th.

He was fifth and a stage winner in the 1997 Vuelta, sixth (and another stage victory) a year later, and third in 1999; that year he finished sixth and won a stage in the Giro d'Italia.

1999

In 1999 he won stages at the Volta a Catalunya and the Giro d'Italia, and he stood for the first time on the Vuelta's podium, third despite not winning a stage.

2000

In 2000 he took two stages and the overall win, which attracted the US Postal cycling team.

Heras achieved his highest position in the Tour when he finished fifth in 2000.

His first Vuelta win came in 2000 (when he also won two stages and the points classification), and he won again in 2003.

2001

From 2001, he raced alongside Lance Armstrong on the US Postal Service team.

As a climbing specialist, he assisted Armstrong in the mountain stages of the Tour de France.

2002

During the 2002 Tour de France Lance Armstrong was in 2nd place overall going into stage 11 where the race entered the high mountains.

Going up the final climb on the Tourmalet Heras set such a dominating pace at the front of the fragmented Peloton that all of Armstrong's rivals were dropped with the exception of Joseba Beloki.

The ride put in by Heras set up Armstrong to take over the Yellow Jersey from the ONCE–Eroski team led by Beloki, Abraham Olano and Igor González de Galdeano who was in the overall lead at the start of Stage 11.

Beloki finished 2nd overall in the stage as Heras came in 3rd with both riders behind Armstrong who finally launched his attack for the stage win.

2003

At the end of 2003, he left US Postal to lead the Spanish Liberty Seguros team.

2004

He was thought to be a contender for the 2004 Tour de France but abandoned after the 16th stage due to lack of fitness.

Heras entered the Vuelta a España and won, equalling Tony Rominger's record three wins.

During the first mountain stages, it seemed an easy win but in the last week he had a challenge from Santiago Pérez.

2005

He won a record-tying three times, and then broke the record with a fourth win in 2005, but he was eventually disqualified after being accused of taking EPO.

Heras chose to fight the accusations and this resulted in a lengthy court case and appeal process.

The Spanish cycling federation subsequently reinstated Heras as 2005 Vuelta champion.

In the 2005 Vuelta a España, Heras won two mountain stages (including the Estación de Esquí de Pajares) and lost the last time trial by less than a second, something nobody expected from the non-time-trial-specialist Heras.

Heras won for the fourth time, a record.

However, a drug test in November 2005, two months after the race, showed a positive test for EPO from the day of time trial (stage 20).

Heras was fired and faced a two-year suspension.

His Vuelta win was given to second-place finisher, Russian Denis Menchov.

Heras appealed, alleging inaccuracies in the testing and mishandling of his samples.

He appealed this decision in the civil court of Castilla y León, and was successful.

2011

In June 2011, Heras successfully appealed against the disqualification in the civil court of Castilla y León, and this decision was upheld in the Spanish supreme court in December 2012.

2012

Later that year he won the 12th stage of the Vuelta a España.

Next year he won another stage at the Vuelta and the Clásica de Amorebieta.

The next day in Stage 12 once again Roberto Heras set such a furious pace on the final climb that all of Armstrong's rivals were dropped with the exception of Beloki except this time it was Heras who crossed in 2nd while Beloki took third.

He had, however, already established himself as a contender for honours in other Tours.

The Spanish cycling federation appealed at the Spanish supreme court, but in December 2012 this court upheld the decision; the Spanish cycling federation subsequently reinstated Heras as 2005 champion and Heras went on to sue the federation for over one million euro in purported lost earnings.

2017

In January 2016, Heras was awarded €724,000 in compensation from the Spanish state, a sentence that was confirmed on 9 May 2017.
