What time does Clásica San Sebastian 2026 start and finish? Where to watch on TV and live on USA and UK
Cycling
Cycling rolls on after the end of the Tour de France. Tadej Pogacar’s fifth triumph is already part of history, but the racing moves on towards one of the season’s finest one-day events: the 2026 Clásica de San Sebastián, set for August 1st. The WorldTour race will gather several of the world’s best riders. Below you’ll find how to watch on TV and follow live online in the USA and UK.
As noted, a stellar line-up is expected at the Clásica de San Sebastián. Last year’s winner, Giulio Ciccone, returns to defend his title against stars such as Giulio Pellizzari, Felix Gall, Jan Christen, Joao Almeida, Pello Bilbao, Carlos Rodríguez, Mikel Landa, Afonso Eulálio, Santiago Buitrago, and many more.
Remco Evenepoel is also expected, with the race on his schedule. The Belgian from Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe has just finished the Tour de France with two stage wins and 2nd overall. Less than a week later, he targets a Clásica de San Sebastián that brings back very good memories.
Movistar Team has yet to confirm its riders. The Spanish squad comes off a difficult Tour de France, where losing both leaders upended all plans. Even so, late-July classics delivered strong results with Natnael Tesfatsion and Roger Adrià. One of them—or both—will likely make the roster.
The 2026 Clásica de San Sebastián will be held on Saturday, 01.08.2026, with the following key times:
| Start | Finish |
| 11:13 CET | 17:30 CET |
Giulio Ciccone will try to defend his title at the 2026 Clásica de San Sebastián.

- many people advise him to grow slowly and rather do giro and/or vuelta instead of tdf. but i can totally understand that he is not satisfied with taking over once pogi declines, but instead beat him in his prime. so if he goes for tdf again, i‘m all for it. let‘s hope that pogi recovers soon!Ketterechts07-11-2026
- So gracious to offer something no-one would be prepared to pay for. The Giro is not the Tour and doesn’t command the same interest or attract the same “elite” (those willing to pay to be a part of something they consider has ego boosting potential). Roadside viewing will always largely remain free for everyone outside circuits. Introduction of a symbolic entrance to mountain climbs is worthy of exploration. Asking 1-2€ isn’t going to repulse real fans (most will spend 50-100€ on their outing that day all things included) but will prevent a portion of the total knobhead thrillseekers who will join in any large gathering as long as it’s free, just because they’re attracted to crowds, without which it it difficult for them to work up their anti-social behaviour.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- How is radio going to help when someone went over a cliff or bridge or off the roadside into a forest unnoticed and is laying there unconscious?Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- Yep, next we’ll be accusing F1 drivers of avoiding Le Mans.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- But on what is that opinion based? Are you holding him to a different standard than others? Are you saying he should do learn to like something he doesn’t Are you saying he hasn’t achieved enough Are you saying he pretends to be better than his results? It’s actually a really strange opinion to oust if you consider it objectively or rationally. Try applying it to others or yourself by asking if not EVERYONE should then be doing more? Nobody in athletics or swimming gets criticism for not expanding their repertoire when a rival or someone else does. In fact, most who move to another event get accused of running from their rival. Opinions are boring, the reasons behind them are what count.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- for a medical chief to throw things like is just bad. There are already radios which were banned for spectacle. allow radios. Gps trackers are not a complete solutionabstractengineer07-11-2026
- Yeah man...PogiSloFans07-11-2026
- any rider less than 25 whether they are really ready for the position of leadership of GT is probably not the case. I think Pogi himself suffered when he was defeated by Jonas in the TDF twice. But that would be the team's job to ensure support so that they can bounce back. It requires a team and time to get back up and win after getting knocked down.abstractengineer07-11-2026
- I'm very glad he got the big late Quickstep Vuelta win and I hope he has a few left for Euskaltel-Euskadi.flyer07-11-2026
- My memories of Ivan Basso aren't good but I liked his sister Elisa ok.flyer07-11-2026
