The Clasica de San Sebastian or Donostia San Sebastian Klasikoa in the local Basque dialect is based around the wonderful city of San Sebastian on the northern coast of Spain and is a true highlight of the cycling calendar.
The 211 kilometre, relentlessly hilly race features six key climbs starting with the Andazarrate after just 27km then going on to face the famous ascents of the Urraki, the Alkiza, the Jaizkibel and then the Erlaitz. After the first passage through the finish line the route then loops out of town for one final climb, the vicious 20% slopes of the Murgil Tontorra which come just 8 kilometres before the second and final crossing of the finish line.
With neither Marc Hirschi or Remco Evenepoel, winners of the past two editions present, the role of favourite has passed to the young Mexican sensation Isaac Del Toro. He will have to fend off his own UAE team mate Juan Ayuso though if he wants to win. Also looking to add more glory to an already excellent season is Scotland's Oscar Onley, fresh after finishing 4th in the Tour de France. Other names on the start sheet to keep an eye on are Tobias Johannessen, Giulio Ciccone, David Gaudu and the veteran Mikel Landa.

Simon Warren has been obsessed with cycling since the summer of 1989 after watching Greg Lemond battle Laurent Fignon in the Tour de France. Although not having what it took to beat the best, he found his forte was racing up hills and so began his fascination with steep roads. This resulted in his 2010’s best-selling 100 Greatest Cycling Climbs, followed to date by 14 more guides to vertical pain. Covering the British Isles, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain he has been riding and racing up hills and mountains for over 30 years now. He hosts talks, guides rides, has written columns for magazines and in 2020 released his first book of cycling routes, RIDE BRITAIN. Simon splits his time between working as a graphic designer and running his 100 Climbs brand and lives in Sheffield on the edge of the Peak District with his wife and two children.
