Ángel Ibáñez (born 3 January 1939)[2] is a Spanish former cyclist, who was professional between 1962 and 1969.[3] In the 1967 Vuelta a España, Ibáñez won the 13th stage and finished 41st overall. Finally, Angel Ibáñez manages to reach the foot of the Basilica of El Pilar two and a half minutes before the dozen pursuers who, in turn, lead the great platoon in thirty-eight seconds more. Competed in Vallmoll near Tarragona for 80 kilometers, Ángel Ibáñez won with more than three minutes ahead of his closest pursuers.[4]
Ángel Ibáñez was born in Bárboles, Aragon on January 3, 1939.[5] Ángel Ibáñez started in Torredembarra in 1959. As an amateur Ángel Ibáñez was the amateur 1961, 1964 and mountain 1961 champion of Catalonia, and the provincial champion 1963-65.

Ángel Ibáñez contested four Vueltas a España 1966-69 and a Tour de France 1967.[6] The modest Aragonese Angel Ibáñez, from the Ferrys team, undertakes a solo adventure, a crazy chimera, when just four kilometers of race have been covered.
