Tour of the Basque Country 2025 Route stage 5: Urduña - Gernika-Lumo

The route is far from flat, but only four climbs are deemed KOM worthy. Las Campas comes after 18.3 kilometres (1.4 kilometres at 8.2%); Sarasola after 60 kilometres (2.9 kilometres at 3.5%); Aretxabalgane after 90.7 kilometres (4.6 kilometres at 5.4%); and Errigoiti after 104.3 kilometres (4.8 kilometres at 4%).

At the top of that last climb, 68 kilometres remain. While there are no more KOM points on offer, the terrain is far from easy. How about a 2.3 kilometres climb at 8.6% after 127 kilometres? Or a brutal 2.2-kilometre wall at 9.4% after 156.2 kilometres, which then continues to rise for nearly 3 more kilometres?

There are 13.8 kilometres left to race at the summit of that last drag, mostly downhill, although two uphill kickers spice up the last 4.5 kilometres. The first is 300 metres at 4.2%, and the second 700 metres at 6.7%, with occasional ramps into double digits. After that, it’s all downhill to the line.

The first three riders across the line pick up 10, 6, and 4 bonus seconds, while the intermediate sprints come with 3, 2, and 1 seconds.
