Ciccone defends, the Basque climbs decide, and the first WorldTour one-day race after the Tour de France sets the tone for the late-summer classics.
This page is the 2026 Donostia San Sebastian Klasikoa surface on WatchCycling. It brings together the edition-specific preview copy, the current startlist, and the watch information for the race, without replacing the ownership of the evergreen race hub.
The 2026 Donostia San Sebastian Klasikoa is a question of whether Giulio Ciccone can defend in Basque terrain that already rewarded his best qualities, or whether the next wave of Grand Tour climbers - Jan Christen, Isaac del Toro, Remco Evenepoel - treat this race as a serious standalone target rather than a Tour cooldown.
A one-day race of approximately 210 km through the Basque Country hills, finishing along La Concha Bay in San Sebastian. Jaizkibel and Murgil Tontorra remain the decisive climbs. The race typically runs from late morning to late afternoon Central European time.
