The Basque competition hopes to have some of the best of the WorldTour platoon, including two-time champion of this round Primoz Roglic with Jumbo Visma, who has just won Paris Nice last year, which makes it clear that he will arrive with the intention of going for the jackpot.

In addition to the Slovenian, the Jumbo Visma team would bet on a second trick with Danish Jonas Vingegaard, third in the Tour de France 2021. However, there would be other rivals of great weight who would arrive with the same intention as Primoz, for example, riders such as Julian Alaphilippe and Remco Evenepoel on the part of the Quick Step Alpha Vinil team.

Both runners have shown in previous competitions to have a good level so far, so they would be candidates to keep the final win. Among other great riders who would be performing in the competition, would be UAE Team Emirates North American Brandon McNulty, just to name a few.

On the other hand, the English team Ineos Grenadiers, where some Colombians play, would have the two Britons Adam Yates and Geraint Thomas.

Alejandro Osorio would be doing his third competition with the Arab squad, Bahrain Victorious, after having signed a contract for the next two seasons with the aim of gaining experience and demonstrating his great attributes in the European mountains as he did in the Giro d'Italia U23 in 2018.

To close the group of Colombian cyclists who would probably be in the Spanish competition, there is Sergio Andrés Higuita, who until a few days ago was champion of the Vuelta a Catalunya 2022.

The rider Paisa managed to keep his first WorldTour race by premiering team. The also national road champion gradually manages to consolidate himself as leader of the German squad Bora Hansgrohe.

Although it is worth remembering that there would also be the Russian Aleksandr Vlasov, who has also shown significant abilities to go for good positions in general standings in stages rounds.

It remains to be confirmed which other Colombians could enter at the last minute in the squad selection for the Vuelta la País Vasco, which will run from 4 to 9 April as one of the last and most important competitions leading up to the first three-week grand round of the year: the 2022 Giro d'Italia.
