Jonathan Castroviejo Nicolás (born 27 April 1987) is a Spanish professional cyclist, who rides for UCI WorldTeam {{UCI team code|IGD}}.{{cite web|url=https://www.uci.org/road/teams/TeamDetail/15241/1001552/279|title=Ineos Grenadiers|work=UCI.org|publisher=Union Cycliste Internationale|access-date=2 January 2021|archive-url=https://archive.today/20210102023102/https://www.uci.org/road/teams/TeamDetail/15241/1001552/279|archive-date=2 January 2021}}
Castroviejo specialises in time trials, with all of his eleven professional victories – including a gold medal at the 2016 European Road Championships and a record six victories in the Spanish National Time Trial Championships – coming in the discipline.
Career
=Orbea and Euskaltel–Euskadi (2008–2011)=
Born in Getxo, Basque Country, Spain, Castroviejo spent two seasons with the feeder team of the de facto Basque national squad {{UCI team code|ORB|2008}}, before he joined {{UCI team code|EUS|2010|nolink=yes}} in 2010. He won his first race as a professional at the 2011 Tour de Romandie, clocking the fastest time in the {{convert|3.5|km|1|abbr=on}} prologue individual time trial, beating reigning under-23 world champion Taylor Phinney by 0.27 seconds. The result came the day before Castroviejo's 24th birthday.{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-romandie-upt/prologue/results|title=Tour de Romandie 2011: Prologue Results |website=Cyclingnews.com|date=26 April 2011 |access-date=5 July 2018}} His prowess in the time trial was relatively uncommon for a {{UCI team code|EUS|2011|nolink=yes}} rider, as the team was known for fielding lightweight climbers with little ability against the clock. The Romandie stage win was, however, not a complete shock – earlier in the season, Castroviejo had finished eighth in the time trial which closed out Tirreno–Adriatico, besting the times of riders such as Gustav Larsson, Cadel Evans, and David Zabriskie, all of whom had reputations as time trial specialists.{{cite web|last=Farrand |first=Stephen |url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/46th-tirreno-adriatico-his/stage-7/results |title=Tirreno-Adriatico 2011: Results & News |publisher=Cyclingnews.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110318172554/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/46th-tirreno-adriatico-his/stage-7/results |archive-date=18 March 2011 }} Castroviejo turned in another strong time trial later in the Tour de Romandie, taking ninth in the {{convert|20.1|km|1|abbr=on}} long race against the clock, better than Marco Pinotti and Jean-Christophe Péraud (among others), both former champions of their respective nations in the time trial.{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-romandie-upt/stage-4/results|title=Tour de Romandie 2011: Stage 4 Results|website=Cyclingnews.com|date=30 April 2011|access-date=5 July 2018}}
=Movistar Team (2012–2017)=
Castroviejo moved to the {{UCI team code|MOV|2012|nolink=yes}} for the 2012 season. He wore the Vuelta a España's general classification jersey for two stages since his team won the opening Team time trial and he crossed the line first, but lost it two days later to teammate Alejandro Valverde. Castroviejo could not follow the frantic pace set by Alberto Contador ({{UCI team code|SAX|2012b}}) on the final climb of the third stage.{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/vuelta-a-espana/stage-3/results|title=Valverde claims photo finish on Eibar|work=Cycling News|publisher=Future Publishing Limited|date=20 August 2012|access-date=20 August 2012}}
In 2015, Castroviejo won the Spanish National Time Trial Championships for the second time in his career.{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/spanish-road-championships-2015/tim-trial-men/results|title=Movistar sweeps Spanish time trial with Castroviejo repeating title|work=Cyclingnews.com|publisher=Immediate Media Company|date=26 June 2015|access-date=27 June 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150629012728/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/spanish-road-championships-2015/tim-trial-men/results|archive-date=29 June 2015|df=dmy-all}}
