Preview

The 42nd Vuelta a Pais Vasco will run from Monday, April 8 through until Friday, April 12 next week. It is ranked 2.HC by the UCI, which means that it is only one below a grand tour, and therefore worth a lot of points. The race will attract many of the top Spaniards, including Joseba Beloki and Angel Casero, winner of last year's Vuelta. From the foreign contingent, there is Raimondas Rumsas and Pavel Tonkov (Lampre), Alexandre Vinokourov (Telekom), Wladimir Belli, Francesco Casagrande (Fassa Bortolo), Stefano Garzelli (Mapei), Michael Boogerd and Levi Leipheimer (Rabobank), and Laurent Jalabert (CSC).

The race is held over six stages and finishes with a 15.2 kilometre time trial.
