Vuelta a Burgos
The Vuelta a Burgos is a short road-cycling stage race held in Spain's Burgos province, typically in August. The men's event is on the UCI ProSeries calendar as a 2.Pro race, attracting WorldTeams, ProTeams, and Continental teams. It originated in the 1940s, took its current form in the 1980s, and has been fully professional since 1987. The race often hinges on the final ascent to Lagunas de Neila, with a time trial and another mountain stage typically shaping the general classification. Stage finishes frequently occur in locations like Burgos, Medina de Pomar, Miranda de Ebro, and Roa. Marino Lejarreta holds the record for overall victories with four, while Alfonso Gutierrez has the most stage wins at seven. The women's race evolved from an amateur event into the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas, now part of the UCI Women's World Tour, featuring WorldTour and ProSeries teams competing on stages including Burgos Eclipsa, Patrimonio Enologico, Territorio Obarenes, and the queen stage, Caminos en Flor, leading to Lagunas de Neila. Its official theme song is Subiendo como el Chava Jimenez by M.O.D.A.
