Apr. 6, 2009 - Apr. 11, 2009Tour of the Basque Country
The Vuelta Ciclista al País Vasco — Tour of the Basque Country, in English — was first held in 1924. Although the mountains are terribly high in this stage race, they are steep. The race is notable for its lack of time bonuses given to the top finisher of each stage.
