The Valencia Community Tour has lifted the veil on the route of the 2025 edition. Maintained despite the dramatic floods which affected the region on October 29 and 30, the Spanish race (2.Pro) promises to be breathtaking with five stages where the best climbers will be able to stand out. From February 5 to 9, the peloton of the Tour of the Valencian Community will start the event in Orihuela and end the five days of racing at the port of Valencia. On the program, 665 kilometers divided into two medium mountain stages, a high mountain stage, the team time trial and a final stage which is less rugged but where the wind could be present.

Who to succeed Brandon McNulty?
Yes, yes Valencia Tower always gives pride of place to mountainous stages, this 76th edition is marked by the return of the team time trial after 7 years of absence. The test led by Homemade Angel will also offer a flat but nervous final stage, with up to five wind sections that could modify the final general classification. But the difference should be made during the ascents of the Pico del Remedio (3rd stage) and mountain passes Chodos or Vistabella (4th stage).
Last year, Brandon McNulty had won the general classification after winning the queen stage, atAlto del Miserat, devançant Santiago Buitrago of a few seconds.
