Clásica San Sebastián draws star-studded field to Spain

Just six short days after the Tour de France, the cream of Europe's professional peloton will line up to contest Spain's most prestigious one-day race, the 29th edition of the Clásica San Sebastián on Saturday, August 1. Many of the Tour's stars will put their Grand Tour form to work again over the challenging 237-kilometre parcours, while others either denied Tour glory or returning to competition after a July hiatus will attempt to make their mark in Spain's Basque region.
