World Tour racing resumes on the 2nd of August. After the end of the Tour de France always comes one of the hardest and most iconic one-day races of the World Tour calendar in the Clàsica San Sebastiàn - which happens every year in the cycling-loving Basque Country. We take a look at it's
startlist.
The race will feature big figures such as: Marc Hirschi,
Juan Ayuso, Jan Christen,
Isaac del Toro, Aurelien Paret-Peintre, Quinn Simmons,
Primoz Roglic, Maxim van Gils, Nairo Quintana, Neilson Powless, Tiesj Benoot, Ion Izagirre,
Oscar Onley, Pello Bilbao, Lenny Martinez, Antonio Tiberi, Luke Plapp, Romain Gregoire, Tibor del Grosso and Tobias Johannessen.
This classic is a race that often sees climbers and classics riders fight for victory in what is a different mix of abilities and preparations. Those coming from the Tour de France often win this race, and in the opposite side of the spectrum we also have a lot of riders here mid-preparation towards the Vuelta a España.
