Vuelta a Burgos Feminina 2024 - all stages at a glance
Stage 1 | Thursday, 16 May | Villagonzalo Pedernales - Burgos | 123 kilometres
The peloton starts with a stage around Burgos. The stage is not super demanding - although there are three 3rd category climbs on the programme. A few roundabouts shortly before the finish are likely to be the biggest challenge for the teams on the way to the possible sprint finale.
Stage 2 | Friday, 17 May | Briviesca - Medina de Pomar (Alto de Rosales) | 123 kilometres
Stage 2 is also the only real mountain finish of the tour. After around 120 kilometres, the Alto de Rosales awaits. The final climb is not very steep at 3.8 kilometres and an average gradient of 5.2 per cent, but in the end it is likely to be the contenders who come out on top. The last kilometre is also the steepest with an average gradient of seven per cent. This is where the race is likely to be decided.
Stage 3 | Saturday, 18 May | Roa de Duero - Melgar de Fernamental | 122 kilometres
Stage three is a classic section for the sprinters. After a fairly straightforward run into the finish, two bends await on the last kilometre, where you should already be in the top ten in order to win at the end.
Stage 4 | Sunday, 19 May | Penaranda de Duero - Canicosa de la Sierra | 122 kilometres
The last day is also the most challenging of the tour with lots of ups and downs. Although the Alto de Rozavientos is only 3.5 kilometres long, it is very steep with an average gradient of more than nine per cent. After a rapid descent, there is also a short final ramp. This is where the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas 2024 will be decided.
