Round trips

Basque Country Tour

- Seixas wins stage 5 of the Tour of the Basque Country in a sprint ahead of Lipowitz and celebrates his third stage win and fifth victory of the season.  
- Lipowitz initiates the decisive attack, defends strongly on the climbs and descents and improves to second place overall.  
- Roglic loses time and remains third overall, just ten seconds ahead of Izagirre; rain and difficult climbs make the final stage risky.

- Alex Aranburu wins the 4th stage of the Tour of the Basque Country as a breakaway in an uphill sprint ahead of Tobias H. Johannessen and Christian Scaroni.
- Paul Seixas defends his overall lead, while Ion Izagirre reduces his gap to third place to one second behind Florian Lipowitz.
- Emanuel Buchmann does not start, Juan Ayuso abandons due to gastrointestinal problems; for Aranburu it is the third Basque Country and tenth career victory.

- Laurance and Igor Arrieta break away with 30 kilometres to go; Laurance wins the steep final climb thanks to a stronger sprint.

- Paul Seixas wins stage 2 of the Tour of the Basque Country after an early attack at San Miguel de Aralar with a lead of 1:25 minutes.
- Skjelmose finishes second ahead of Roglic; Roglic now second overall, Lipowitz third overall, both almost two minutes behind Seixas.
- Crashes and crashes cost Vauquelin, Ayuso, del Toro and Brenner a lot of time; Brenner has to abandon, Ayuso probably loses podium chances.

- The 2026 Tour of the Basque Country is characterised by short, steep climbs that break up the overall classification early on.  
- Stage 1 with time trial, 2.4 km climb at 7.3 % plus ramp up to 19 % and the Aralar climb on stage 2 can result in early time losses.  
- On day five, the 4.1 km long Izua with a gradient of 9.2% is considered to be the decisive key section for overall victory.

Tour of the Basque Country: The key moments for victory

- The 2026 Tour of the Basque Country is a six-day World Tour mountain race with a top line-up including Ayuso, del Toro and Seixas.  
- Several Germans will start with different roles: Buchmann, Brenner, Kämna, Schachmann, Wilksch and Zimmermann.  
- Buchmann, Schachmann and Kämna want to recommend themselves for higher tasks, Zimmermann and Brenner hope for stage successes on difficult terrain.

- At the 2026 Tour of the Basque Country, old champion Primož Roglič will meet up with young talents such as Isaac del Toro, Juan Ayuso and Paul Seixas.  
- Del Toro is regarded as the strongest favourite, Ayuso as a constant first runner-up; the impact of his crash at Paris-Nice remains unclear for Ayuso.  
- Seixas could surprise as a light-hearted outsider; other candidates are Skjelmose, Riccitello, Tiberi, Bilbao, Johannessen and Scaroni.

Tour of the Basque Country 2026: The favourites - A generational duel

- The 2026 Tour of the Basque Country (6-11 April) covers ~810 km, includes 6 stages, one of which is a time trial, and is part of the UCI WorldTour.  
- The main favourites for overall victory are the young riders Isaac del Toro, Juan Ayuso and Paul Seixas; veteran Primož Roglič is no longer considered the top favourite.  
- The mountainous profile without classic sprint stages promises decisions on the difficult 5th stage around Eibar and the final stage to Bergara.
