Clásica de San Sebastián (Donostia Klasikoa)
🚴 UCI
🌍 INT
Post‑Tour legs meet Basque climbs on a route that traditionally crests Jaizkibel and, in modern editions, the steep Murgil‑Tontorra late.
The punchy profile and technical descents favour attackers over pure sprinters, and the seaside setting adds wind factors on the approach back into San Sebastián.
Teams with Ardennes‑style leaders thrive: riders who can repeat hard efforts and kick clear in the final kilometre. Small‑group sprints are common, but solo winners from the last climb remain a hallmark.
