It was in the XXIV edition of the 'Fernando Astorki' Cycle Tour Classic, in which more than 300 riders from different teams and associations took part. After the starting flag was raised on the Boulevard de Leioa by Igor Antón himself, a former doctor in the Vuelta a España, the cyclists rode 95km through the following routes Larrabetzu, the Morga and Gernika ramps, before climbing to the top of Rigoitia. After the refreshments, the return journey was via Unbe.
The school had its own cycling representation, made up of parents, former pupils and teachers. In addition, some families and current students collaborated by marking the route and helping at the start and refreshment stations.
In its day, the Vuelta Ciclista Gaztelueta marked an era in the school, in Bizkaia and in the cycling world, being the oldest event after the Vuelta Ciclista a España.
