2021 Clasica de Almeria remains a sprinter’s race, even if there’s been a significant change for the event with a new starting location, Puebla de Vícar. The race’s other main characteristics stay intact from previous years, with three climbs to spice things up early on. The Cuesta de Almerimar (Cat-4) is the final ascent about 50km from the finish; and the winds as the biggest difficulty before the final local laps in Roquetas.
Clasica de Almeria 2021 (Pueblo de Vicar – Roquetas de Mar 183.3km) LIVESTREAM: Sunday, 14 February, starts at 15:30pm Central Europe, 09:30am U.S. Eastern
