The first edition of the Itzulia Basque Country cycling race, then known as the Tour of the Basque Country, took place in 1924, and this year, 2024, marks 100 years of emotion on two wheels. The Itzulia will run from 1 to 6 April 2024, marking an exciting and challenging few days for cyclists and spectators alike.
The organisers of the Itzulia Basque Country have announced a commemorative jersey for the 100th anniversary of the cycling race in conjunction with Gobik. It will soon be presented via the Itzulia’s official channels.
The Itzulia Basque Country is known for its challenging route through the beautiful but demanding terrain of the Basque Country, which puts the skills and endurance of the cyclists to the test. Over the years, the race has attracted some of the biggest names in cycling, including Luis Ocaña, Tony Rominger, Alberto Contador and Primoz Roglic, who have left an indelible mark on its history.
The organisers, sponsors and the cycling community in general hope that the centenary of the Itzulia Basque Country will recall the enduring importance of the race and its contribution to the world of cycling.
