José Belda Mira (born 6 June 1975) is a Spanish former amateur road racing cyclist.
Career
Hailing from Ontinyent, in the Province of Valencia, Belda started cycling at the age of 26, later than most. He made his competition debut in the highest amateur level in Spain at 30 years old.[1] In 2006, he celebrated his first victory at this level, winning the second stage of the Vuelta a Galicia.[2]
In 2007, Belda was unable to compete in the GP Macario due to having a hematocrit level above 50%.[1] A few months later, he won his first Vuelta a Tenerife.[3] In 2008, Belda celebrated several more victories, including the Quebrantahuesos, one of the most well-known and difficult amateur races in the country.[4]
From 2009 to 2011, Belda was the best amateur cyclist in Spain. Victorious on numerous occasions, he was particularly famous during the 2011 season by winning 30 races, including many of the stage races on the Spanish amateur calendar (Volta ás Comarcas de Lugo, Vuelta a Castellón, Vuelta a Tenerife, Tour of the Province of Valencia, Vuelta a Galicia, Vuelta a Cantabria).
