Startlist Clásica San Sebastián 2026 - With Remco Evenepoel, Giulio Ciccone, Ben Healy, Primoz Roglic, Oscar Onley and more
CyclingTuesday, 28 July 2026 at 17:00
A star-studded line-up is set to officially kick off a new phase of the cycling season at the Clásica San Sebastián 2026. The preliminary startlist comes packed with high-flying Tour de France general classification riders, riders who starred in the Giro d'Italia re-focusing their season and one-day climbing specialists and puncheurs.
Download the full A4 Startlist here. 4300 meters of climbing and the prestige of one of cycling's most coveted one-day classics are in store for riders. Fans can expect tension right until the climax as the Murgil wall looms near the end. The final climb is 2,1 kilometres at 10,1 % and returns as its explosive ramps have hosted some of the race’s most memorable recent attacks and could decide the win again.
After the summit of that climb, only eight kilometres remain. The blend of seven categorized climbs and an explosive finale once more makes the race a perfect battleground for attacking climbers, puncheurs, and Grand Tour contenders.
The biggest name at the start line is Remco Evenepoel. Less than a week after his Tour de France second place, the Belgian leads Red Bull - BORA Hansgrohe alongside seasoned veteran Primoz Roglic and rising talent Giulio Pellizzari.
Giulio Ciccone is another big name back in action as he leads Lidl-Trek's roster. Visma | Lease a Bike bring Matteo Jorgenson to the race while UAE Team Emirates - XRG's line-up sees Jay Vine, Jhonatan Narvaez and Jan Christen all return as contenders. Lenny Martinez is hoping to ride his momentum after a fifth place at la Grand Boucle, leading Bahrain-Victorious.
Stacked field of climbers, puncheurs and general classification riders
Meanwhile, Giro runner-up Felix Gall is one to watch as Decathlon CMA CGM leader. Elsewhere, a host of veterans will feature, including Julian Alaphilippe, Nairo Quintana, Pello Bilbao and Mikel Landa.
Ben Healy will hope to continue his attacking displays at the Tour de France for EF Education-EasyPost while Movistar bring a recovered Cian Uijtdebroeks alongside stalwart Enric Mas in a two-pronged attack.
David Gaudu is back in action for Groupama FDJ - United after missing out on selection for the Tour de France while Oscar Onley will be hoping to bounce back for INEOS after his crash in Tour Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes ended his Tour ambitions.
Other riders that could well play a part include Alpecin - Premier Tech's Ramses Debruyne, Clement Braz Afonso, Filippo Zana, Quinn Simmons, Mauro Schmidt, Marco Frigo and Jarno Widar.
With potential winners in almost every team, fans can expect an exciting day of racing as the second half of the season officially kicks off with a bang.
