It may be spring Classics season, but the Itzulia Basque Country, nestled among the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix, provides a home for the stage racers of the peloton in early April.
The six-day race tackles some of the toughest hills – and there are a lot of them – in the Basque Country in northern Spain, and this year’s 63rd edition, which runs from Monday, April 1 to Sunday, April 8, is no exception.
Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) is back to defend his overall title won on the Eibar last year with Primož Roglič (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quickstep) his main rivals.
Aside from Vingegaard, Evenepoel and Roglič, there are GC men aplenty lining up at the race. Basque representation comes via Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious), and Ion Izagirre (Cofidis).
Look out for Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates), David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ), and Carlos Rodriguez (Ineos Grenadiers).
