The 2023 Tour de France is to visit the Basque Country

The first and last time the Tour de France started off in the Basque Country was in 1992. It started out from San Sebastián at the time when Miguel Induráin was at his peak.

31 years later, Bilbao will be hosting the Gran Départ of the 2023 Tour de France. Moreover, the second stage of the race will be entirely along Basque roads, starting in Vitoria-Gasteiz and finishing in San Sebastián.

The third stage will also take in Basque territory, as it is to start from the locality of Amorebieta, in Bizkaia province.
