High and medium mountains, two summit finishes and many ‘muur’ for a Vuelta of Navarra that returns in style

59ª Vuelta a Navarra
From 26 to 29 May

After the preview of the Bidasoa Itzulia, with the final stretch of the Copa de España already completed, the season of the stage races gets off to a relentless start. The technical stop of the Vuelta a Navarra was another of the collateral damages of the pandemic, the confinement and the containment measures of a sanitary nature. This damage was all the greater because of the freshness and imagination that the Navarrese race has received in the last decade in terms of routes.

Now, two years later, it returns with four stages that promise strong emotions. A total route of more than 560 kilometres with many attractions in its four days, with medium and high mountain stages, with one day with a high finish, another one on a slope and a final day with many walls, short but explosive, in which double-digit slopes abound.

The U23 structure of the Contador Foundation travels to the Comunidad Foral to compete with a ‘seven’ composed by Marcel Camprubí, David Domínguez, Arnau Gilabert, Sebastiano Minoia, Manuel Oioli, Andrea Pietrobon and Javi Serrano.
