2.Pro - Stages - UCI ProSeries

Stage Race

Slicing through the heart of Andalusia, the Route of the Sun pits the peloton against a labyrinth of jagged 'muros' and endless olive groves. It is the crucible where winter training meets the white-hot reality of the Spanish hills, demanding both the grit of a classics specialist and the grace of a climber under the blinding Mediterranean light.

Stage 1

Feb 18

•Benahavís

Pizarra

The opening stage presents a stark contrast between a mountainous first half featuring the Category 1 Puerto del Madroño and a flat conclusion in Pizarra. While the early 2,744 meters of climbing favor breakaways, the stage ultimately serves as a high-stakes opportunity for resilient sprinters.
