An ITT and the Tour of the Basque Country are intertwined in recent years. In 2013, Tony Martin was victorious and Nairo Quintana took the overall by besting Sergio Henao. Last year Martin was fastest as well and Alberto Contador was second, cementing his overall win.
The first half of the route is downhill and the second half is spiced up with two climbs. The last 1.5 kilometers are all uphill. In facte it’s up the super-steep Muro de Aia, just like yesterday.
