Maite Rosende has made the Return and Return Woman posters
Donostiarra artist Maite Rosende has made the poster of the 2026 Basque Country cycling race, awarded last year with the Basque Country Literature Award in the category of Illustration of Literary Works, and has designed, as has been the case since 2019, the poster of this year's Cycling Tour.
The image was presented this Monday at the Museum of Fine Arts in Bilbao, where the posters of previous years are kept: Yolanda Mosquera, Asisko Urmeneta, Mira Asiain, Javier Isusi, Maite Mutuberria, Joseba Larratxe and David de las Heras.
Thus, the author of this year's poster will be Maite Rosende, who will announce her images of the Itzulia Basque Country, which will begin in Bilbao from 6 to 11 April and end in Bergara, and the Itzulia Women, which will be held from 15 to 17 May.
As the artist himself explained, "I wanted to create an easy and recognizable image that reflects the personality of the race, with great strength and rhythm."
