Euskaraz irakurri: 2024ko Euskal Herriko Itzuliko 2. stageren profila, ibilbidea eta ordutegia: Irun-Kanbo (160 km)
The second stage of the Itzulia Basque Country of 2024 will be disputed April 2Tuesday, will leave Irun and will end in Kanboand will have a tour of 160 kilometers. It is a day that brings with it one of the main novelties of this 63rd edition of the Itzulia: the passage of the race through Iparraldewhich will witness, in Lapurdi and Zuberoa, most of this stage.
The organization of the test warns that the route that connects Irun and Kanbo is “misleading”. The fact is that cyclists will have to face a single ascent qualifying for the Mountain Grand Prix, 3rd category, that of Saint-Ignacebut the road is a constant up and down throughout the day. This being the case, and with the peloton passing through several narrow sections, it could be a suitable stage for runners who have the strength to sneak in a breakaway.
Saint-Ignace, the port of the day, has its banner at kilometer 19.5. As has been said, it is a 3rd ascent; will require the cyclists of Itzulia to make an effort 2.6 kilometerswith a average slope of 5.9%.
The race starts from Irunwhere the time trial from the previous day is put into play, and then enters Lapurdi. The cycling fans of Azkaine, Ainhoa, Ezpeleta, Irisarri, Hazparne, Hiriburu, Uztaritze and Senpere They will be able to enjoy the passage of Itzulia through its towns. We can also do it, of course, in Kanbowhich will take place the first special sprint of this edition of the test, at kilometer 49.6; Ezpeleta will host the second, already at kilometer 152.2, less than eight to the arrival. The special sprints, with the bonus they put into the fray, can decide the provisional leadership of Itzulia… and even the final winner.
In Kanbo, the winner of the first online stage of the 2024 Itzulia will take the podium, on the eve of the third day when the mountains begin to take on a greater role in the race.
