Vuelta a Burgos Feminas 2025 overview

The 10th edition of the Vuelta a Burgos Féminas will bring the Women's WorldTour to the region from May 22-25, 2025.

In 2015, the women's Vuelta a Burgos began as a national level race, and was largely contested by Spanish riders until it became a UCI 2.1-ranked event in 2019. Stine Borgli was the winner of the first UCI edition.

The event was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, but it emerged stronger in 2021 as a WorldTour stage race. Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx) claimed the overall victory in the first year, while Juliette Labous (Team DSM) won the race in 2022.

Since then, Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime) claimed the most recent editions after finishing third in 2021 and 2022.

Vuelta a Burgos Féminas contenders

The winner of the last two editions, Demi Vollering, isn't expected to be on the start line this year, to make it three in a row opening up the race to a whole raft of new contenders for the top spot. Still that doesn't mean that FDJ-Suez won't have a strong card to play as Juliette Labous, the 2022 winner, will be lining up for the French squad after having fifth overall at Vuelta Femenina even while riding in support of Vollering.

One stand out name from among her rivals is UAE Team ADQ's Elisa Longo Borghini. The Giro d'Italia winner hasn't lined up at the race since 2021 and will be racing Durango-Durango and then Vuelta a Burgos as her last block of racing before altitude camp ahead of the big Grand Tour goals of July.

Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime) is also returning to the fray to chalk up her first stage race of the season, though there will be little thought of underestimating the World Champion as a result. Then her teammate Lorena Wiebes will also provide another powerful option in the sprints.

Then there is Canyon-SRAM, who are lining up with Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig but also Antonia Niedermaier, who just won the youth classification at Itzulia Women and came eighth overall. What's more she has proven herself in the time trial, coming fourth at World Championships last year, so the final stage being a race against the clock could play into her hands if times are tight at the end. However, there is one rival who certainly has what it takes to match her in the time trial stakes and that is Movistar's Marlen Reusser, who is clearly carrying formidable form into this block after having taken second to Vollering at Vuelta Femenina.

Lidl-Trek will bring a powerful duo that delivers experience and youthful promise, with Amanda Spratt – who just came sixth overall at Itzulia – and Gaia Realini. They will also have Elisa Balsamo on board to take on the stages for the fast finishers. Jayco-AlUla's Ella Wyllie is also lining up at the race where she came ninth overall last year and she will also be joined by Silke Smulders, who showed some strong climbing form at the Tour Down Under in January.

Vuelta a Burgos Féminas route

The Vuelta a Burgos Féminas ascends to new heights in 2025. After using the Lagunas de Neila as the queen stage from 2021 to 2023, and lacking a major summit finish last year, the 2025 Vuelta a Burgos Féminas route features the hors category climb to Picón Blanco - a 7.8km ascent with an average grade of 9%.

The route also adds an individual time trial on the final stage, the first in the race's history.
