The route of the 5th stage of the Tour of the Basque Country

8 climbs are listed on Friday. We think of Urkaregi (5.3 km at 4.3%) with its summit just 13 km from the finish. Will Paul Seixas be able to draw profile from this sequence of ascents and descents, he who dominates the exercise with brio and panache?

The favorites for the 5th stage of the Tour of the Basque Country 2026

Given his impressive form this week, Paul Seixas (Decathlon CMA-CGM) is obviously the favorite. Primoz Roglic (Red Bull), Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull) Matthias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek) and Tobias Johannessen (Uno-X) will be his main competitors on Friday if the latest performances of these riders are to be believed.
