Stage 2: Vitoria-Gasteiz to San Sebastián
Date: July 2, 2023
Distance: 208.9km
Stage type: hilly
Stage 2 features more hilly terrain in the Basque Country, following a 209km route from Vitoria-Gasteiz to Donostia San Sebastián on the coast.
The Jaizkibel climb, famous from the Donostia San Sebastián Klasikoa, is only 20km from the finish and so will have an impact on the stage and perhaps the race lead.

The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
