Circuito de Getxo 2026 Preview | Route, Startlist, Favorites

Circuito de Getxo 2026 returns to its coastal circuit in the Basque Country, with Isaac del Toro defending the title he won in 2025. The punchy terrain favors aggressive riders who can handle repeated accelerations on the final laps.

Circuito de Getxo returns to the Basque coast on August 2 with a circuit race format that rewards punchy accelerations and smart positioning over sustained climbing.

Isaac del Toro won in 2025 and returns to defend. The recent winners list - Juan Ayuso, Jon Barrenetxea, Alexey Lutsenko - confirms this is a race for riders with explosive power on short climbs. The circuit narrows and winds through coastal terrain where reading the race and being in position for the decisive move matters as much as raw watts.

No confirmed startlist is available yet. The field will take shape as post-Tour de France and Klasikoa commitments are confirmed.

2026 outlook

The 2026 Circuito de Getxo asks whether Isaac del Toro can defend on the coastal Basque circuit or whether a puncheur like Jon Barrenetxea or Juan Ayuso can reclaim the race for Spanish cycling on home terrain.
