The Stage
A “flat” day at the Tour of the Basque Country kicks off with two consecutive Category 3 climbs, followed by undulating terrain from the Spanish coast in Bermeo 185 kilometers to Valdegovía.
What To Watch For
A fierce fight for the breakaway as stage 3 offers a rare opportunity for non-climbers to nab a Pais Vasco stage win. Team Sunweb will be particularly interested in this stage as one of the few teams without a designated GC man, and sprinter Michael Mathews on fine form.
