After his career as a cyclists, Mendiburu became a race organizer. After the disastrous 1982 Vuelta a España, where the winner of the race was disqualified for doping, he managed to get the 1983 Vuelta shown live on Spanish television. This made it more interesting for sponsors, which increased the budget of the organisation and revived the Vuelta.[4]
