The first stage of the 2025 Itzulia Basque Country is a 16.5 km individual time trial. The route includes a minor climb, the Arzubiaga, which will determine the first leader in the mountains classification. Harold Tejada of XDS Astana is the first rider to start at 1415 local time, kicking off both the stage battle and the race for the inaugural leader's jersey. The prize for stage winners includes a txapela beret, symbolizing victory in the competition. Live coverage welcomes viewers to witness this exciting beginning of the race.
The route itself is far from complicated. Just 16.5 kilometres long, and with one (very) minor climb on it, the Arzubiaga (0.9 km à 2.4%) after 4.3 kilometres, which will decide the first mountains classification leader.
Harold Tejada (XDS Astana) will be getting the ball rolling for the day's battle both for the stage and the first leader's jersey of the race, not to mention one of those nice txapela berets every stage winner gets to wear in the Itzulia.
The first rider off in this opening 16.5 kilometre individual time trial is at 1415 local time.
