Cavendish Eyes Victory at 2025 O Gran Camiño Opener

Mark Cavendish leads favorites at the 2025 O Gran Camiño, aiming for victory in the opening stage.

The 2025 O Gran Camiño stage race kicks off on February 27th, featuring a challenging 148.5km route from Ponteareas to Vigo. With a sprint finish anticipated on the opening day, British riders Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan) and Ethan Vernon (Israel-Premier Tech) are among the favorites to clinch victory. Cavendish aims to add to his remarkable tally of 162 professional wins, while the stage profile includes two categorized climbs that are unlikely to hinder the sprinters` chances.

Other strong contenders for the stage win include Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty). The four-day race will progress to more demanding stages, including a summit finish on stage 3 and a decisive time trial on the final day. Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) returns, seeking his third consecutive overall victory amidst fierce competition from Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) and Egan Bernal (INEOS Grenadiers).

Stage 1 is set to commence at 12:35 local time, with an expected finish around 16:30. Mild weather conditions are forecasted, with temperatures around 15°C and a slight chance of rain, which could influence the final sprint. This race serves as crucial preparation for the upcoming spring classics and grand tours, as riders fine-tune their form for the season ahead. For more details, visit O Gran Camiño and VeloNews.
