The GP Miguel Indurain (April 3rd)

It will have 7 Pro Tour teams: Caisse d"Epargne, Euskaltel-Euskadi, Footon-Servetto-Fuji, Ag2r, Milram, Katusha & Garmin.

The Grand Prix Miguel Indurain (Spanish: Gran Premio Miguel Indurain) is a Spanish one-day road bicycle race. The race was inaugurated in 1951, but was limited to local competition. It was rebranded after the Spanish cyclist in 1998. In 2005, the race was upgraded to a 1.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour. For 2007 and 2008 the race was further upgraded to a 1.HC event. These higher grades have attracted an increasingly competitive and international field of racers.
The race often loops through the city of Estella-Lizarra, in the Navarra-Nafarroa of ESPAÑA. The modern race always includes several challenging climbs and thus tends to favor a fast all-rounder, rather than a climber or a pure sprinter.
Hortensio Vidaurreta, Miguel María Lasa and Juan Fernández share the record for most wins with three each.
