Stage 1

Bilbao – Bilbao

The Itzulia will kick off with a short individual time trial, ideal for setting the first time differences. After being held without spectators in 2021 due to the pandemic, the time trial is back. At 13.9 kilometres, significant gaps are unlikely, but the stage will mark the first rankings in the overall standings. Strong riders and specialists could lead, while climbers look to minimise their deficits. It may not be decisive, but it will influence the strategy for the opening days.
