Biography
Julen Goikoetxea (18 August 1985 – 7 October 2006) was a Basque racing cyclist from Ondarroa.
Goikoetxea started his international career in 2004 as a member of the Alfus Tedes Garbialdi team. In his first two seasons he won five races. UCI ProTour team Euskaltel-Euskadi acknowledged his talent and contracted him for the 2007 season. Despite his success as a cyclist, he began to suffer from depression. He tried to kill himself several times before doctors took care of his health. As a result, he did not cycle any races since May 2006. On 7 October 2006 he committed suicide by jumping off his balcony.
