DONOSTIA SAN SEBAST I ÁN

31 JULY 2019 PODIUM 1st Remco Evenepoel 2nd Greg Van Avermaet 3rd Marc Hirschi

This is one of the hardest one-day races on the calendar. It usually takes place the week after the Tour, though there’s an extra week of recovery in 2021. Tough Basque hills make this a climbers’ race, which attracts a motley mix of Tour survivors and classics specialists looking for wins in the last part of the season.
