PREVIEW | Clasica Jaen Paraiso Interior 2025 - Wout van Aert and Egan Bernal go head-to-head on gravel classic
Cycling
On the 17th of February the riders will tackle one of the most recent and also exciting one-day races of the season. A 'warm-up' to Strade Bianche in a way, the Clásica Jaén Paraiso Interior provides the road peloton with a lot of racing on gravel roads through hilly terrain in Spain. We preview the race ahead.
The race will be 174 kilometers long, mostly a regular one in the first half, whilst the second half will be very difficult and chaotic. The race has 2500 meters of climbing without a single big mountain, but most notably the final 75 kilometer have 32.6 kilometers of gravel sectors - around 50% of it.
It will be ideal terrain for attacks and aggressive racing, a race designed for spectacular competition and a mix of different riders battling for the win.
Prediction Clasica Jaen Paraiso Interior 2025:
*** Wout van Aert, Tim Wellens
** Egan Bernal, Isaac del Toro, Tiesj Benoot
* Ivan Garcia Cortina, Connor Swift, Michal Kwiatkowski, Brandon McNulty, Sepp Kuss, Fabio Christen
Pick: Tim Wellens
How: Van Aert will be good but Wellens already looks at peak form. Somewhere in the last 20Kms he could deal a winning attack.

- Yep If he could just get some consistency going with his form, he would be a rider to be reckoned with in any gc race. As it is he blows hot and cold.Cyclingsbestfan16-03-2025
- I was watching the race live, and it seems like this crash could have been avoided. A pre-race course inspection and appropriate signage.yuckly16-03-2025
- Jonas won T-A last tear and wanted to do P-N this year. Jorgensen also wanted to do it, he declined every si gle opportunity to be a solo leader, eevry stage race Jonas doesn't do, Girovappaxbipmv16-03-2025

- Good win for Ayuso. He has appeared a bit inconsistent on mountain stages in the past; absolutely brilliant on some but then cracking on others.Cooldude16-03-2025
- A little caution is understandable. Just ask Roglic.Cooldude16-03-2025
