The Hors Category Vuelta a Pais Vasco (Tour of the Basque Country) will see 152 riders from 19 teams take part in the 5 day race. The big favourite will be Michael Boogerd (Rabobank) who is in superb form after winning Semana Catalana and the Brabantse Pijl last week. Notable absentees include Roberto Heras, Lance Armstrong and Marco Pantani - the latter is suffering Bronchitis, while the former will ride the Circuit de la Sarthe in France starting Tuesday. Others who could challenge Boogerd include Andreas Kloeden (Telekom) who is supported by Jan Ullrich. Davide Rebellin (Liquigas) is also a threat, and Francesco Casagrande, Stefano Garzelli, and Alex Zulle might try something. The race finishes on Friday with a flat 10 kilometre time trial, somewhat different to last year when there was a hill in it. The toughest stage is the second last (stage 4), 182 kilometres including three category 1 climbs.
