22 teams with 154 riders from 26 different nationalities battle for victory today in the Vuelta a la Región de Murcia. The test starts neutralized in the Almansa Park in San Javier at 12:25 and kilometer 0 is at 12:40, on Calle Real in the city of San Javier. From there, the riders will have to cover the 194.7 kilometers of the course of this 42nd edition up to the Parque Torres de Cartagena, an unprecedented finish in which the show is guaranteed. The end is scheduled at 5:45 p.m.

Until the finish, the event will run through the ports of Cresta del Gallo, Collado Bermejo and Alto del Cedacero, located just 17 kilometers from the finish. It is expected that a small group will arrive at the end, as happened in the previous edition. Likewise, there will be three flying targets: the first, on Avenida Infante Juan Manuel, in Murcia; the second in Alhama and the third in Mazarrón.

Nine teams from the World Tour category, the highest in the international peloton, will be at the start. The UAE team will be the heavy favourite, with a huge squad consisting of last year’s winner Alessandro Covi, Tim Wellens, Matteo Trentin or Marc Hirschi. Other important runners are Pavel Sivakov, Simon Clarke, Bryan Coquard, Warren Barguil or Valentin Madouas.

All professional runners from the Murcia region will be there: Luis León Sánchez, two-time winner, will be one of the favourites; He will be joined by José Joaquín Rojas, Antonio Jesús Soto (winner in 2021), Rubén Fernández, José Luis Faura and José María García. If nothing changes, recently retired Alejandro Valverde will be part of the Movistar team cars.
