Amorebieta is known for the Klasika Primavera, a single-day race that saw its last edition in 2019. Alejandro Valverde, Joaquim Rodríguez, Carlos Sastre, Giovanni Visconti, Pello Bilbao, Andrey Amador and Carlos Betancur are some of the winners in Amorebieta.
The route of the 3rd stage is very straightforward. The riders cross the Côte de Trabakua (5.4 kilometres at 5.2%) and Côte de Milloi (2.6 kilometres at 4.5%) before continuing along the Bay of Biscay for 80 kilometres. The route is not entirely flat in this part of the race, as the Côte d’Itziar (5 kilometres at 4.2%) and Côte de Benta (5.4 kilometres at 6.1%) are crested. Approximately 15 kilometres after moving through San Sebastián the riders cross into France in Irún.
The finish location is Bayonne. The town at the confluence of the Nive and Adour rivers lies 30 kilometres after the Côte de Benta. Interestingly, the source of the Ardour is located high up the most climbed Tourcol, the Col du Tourmalet.
