Located this year right after the World Championships and, most importantly, in the week leading up to the start of La Vuelta in Barcelona, the 45th edition of the Vuelta a Burgos, which also presents significant changes to its usual route, will mark a perfect last rehearsal for the Spanish grandtour, with some teams from the race also lining up here in northern Spain.
Starting from Villalba de Duero (Tuesday 15th), just few kilometers outside the more famous Aranda, the Vuelta a Burgos’ first big modification for 2023 is the absence of the Castillo de Burgos climb, rather than a sprint at the capital city’s Vitoria street. The second difference will be a 13.1km team time trial from Oña to Poza de la Sal on day two (Wednesday 16th).
The Picón Blanco (HC) will be, just like in 2022, not the finish but a huge ascent to tackle before going down to Villarcayo (Thursday 17th), with Bocos (Cat-3) only 7km from the end. To decide the race, two ascents: an explosive one to Pradoluengo (Cat-3; Friday 18th), then the brutal, traditional Lagunas de Neila (HC; Saturday 19th), starting this year from Golmayo near Soria.
