Newsflash: May 23 - Burgos, Giro and a new ride in Paris
The 2025 Vuelta a Burgos Féminas runs this week with a four-stage route over 351km. Key features include a punchy uphill opener, a sprint stage, a summit finish on Picón Blanco, and a decisive individual time trial. Lotte Kopecky leads SD Worx-Protime, using the race to gauge her form ahead of the Tour de France Femmes. At the Giro d'Italia, Isaac Del Toro held onto the pink jersey in Stage 12, gaining bonus seconds to extend his lead over teammate Juan Ayuso. The Tour de France finale on July 27 will undergo a major shake-up. Triple ascents of Montmartre will replace most Champs-Élysées laps.
The punchy, cobbled climb just 6km from the finish promises real drama. The change aims to echo the 2024 Olympics and make the finale more exciting and competitive.
