The supposed main Vuelta prep event, although there are rather few Vuelta GC riders on the startlist this time round. That being said, this should still be a fairly entertaining race.
Broadcast availability is unfortunately rather geographically constrained this time round. Legal options exist in Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Czechia, Slovakia, the US, Canada and Australia. For VPN users, you can find the Spanish livestream here. Broadcasts should start at 3pm each day.
Startlist
Roadbook
Stage 1: Olmillos de Sasamón - Burgos (205.0k)
The easy uphill finish at Burgos Castle returns for the first time since 2022.
Starts at: 11:37
ETA: 16:30 - 17:01
Stage 2: Cilleruejo de Abajo - Buniel (162.0k)
The sole sprint stage. It’s a rather unsafe finish, with the final kilometre averaging minus two percent.
Starts at: 12:42
ETA: 16:33 - 16:57
Stage 3: San Pedro de Cardeña - Valpuesta (185.0k)
Mid-mountain stage, with a big chunk in the Basque Country before the finish right near the border in Valpuesta.
Starts at: 12:07
ETA: 16:31 - 16:59
Stage 4: Burpellet - Regumiel de la Sierra (162.0k)
One more hilly stage, once again partially outside Burgos, this time with a slice of Soría.
Starts at: 12:53
ETA: 16:34 - 16:56
Stage 5: Cillar de Silos - Lagunas de Neila (139.0k)
The classic final showdown. With the lack of a major GC stage in the prior days, the stage winner has a very good chance of winning the overall.
Starts at: 13:12
ETA: 16:34 - 16:56
