Previous winner | Jonas Vingegaard |
O Gran Camiño is a newcomer to the men's professional road calendar starting in 2022. Alejandro Valverde was the first winner of the race. O Gran Camiño has risen in stature after Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard chose to begin his 2023 and 2024 seasons there, winning both editions.
Vingegaard will not return, however, in 2025. The race had terrible weather in 2024 and only three WorldTour teams chose to return - Groupama-FDJ, Movistar and Soudal-Quickstep, led by Mauri Vansevenant and Ethan Hayter.
Keep an eye on Johannes Kulset, the best young rider in the AlUla Tour, his Uno-X Mobility teammate Magnus Cort, Derek Gee (Israel-Premier Tech) and Jefferson Cepeda (Movistar) in this year's race.

O Gran Camiño 2025 route
The fourth edition of O Gran Camiño begins in Maia with an undulating stage and the flattest of the finishes in a rare opportunity for the sprinters. There are two category 3 climbs along the 189.7km route to Matosinhos.
Stage 2 from Marín to A Estrada is a much hillier affair with three category 3 climbs, with a steep climb to San Vicenzo ascended twice, the last of which comes inside the final 10km.
A flattish 15.5 kilometre individual time trial from Ourense to Pereiro de Aguiar follows before the final 136.4km stage from A Pobra do Brollón to O Cebreiro which climbs the cat. 1 Alto da Pitinidoira coming with 14.35km remaining and the Alto do Cebreiro (cat. 3) crested 1.6km from the line.
The final stage is 159.9km long and has a tough category 3 climb with 20.8km to go followed by three gravel sections along the Camino de Santiago before the grand finale in Santiago de Compostela.
