Spanish municipalities have begun securing venues for major 2027 cycling competitions. Amorebieta-Etxano was confirmed as a stage finish for the Itzulia Basque Country race, while Otura was announced as the starting point for the fourth stage of the Vuelta Ciclista a Andalucía in February 2027.

Simultaneously, Spanish professional teams Euskaltel-Euskadi and Burgos Burpellet BH are seeking invitations to the 2027 Tour de France. Both teams finished the 2026 season within the top 30 of the UCI rankings, meeting a primary requirement for ProTeams. This follows the recent participation of Caja Rural-Seguros RGA in the 2026 Tour, which ended a period where Movistar was the only Spanish team represented in the race.

Additionally, veteran cyclist Mikel Landa, who joined Euskaltel-Euskadi for the 2027 season, commented on the upcoming Tour de France route, noting that the inclusion of time trialing and a Basque Country stage favors versatile riders.
