Pre-race favorites

The two-time defending champion, Demi Vollering, elected not to defend her title.[1] Her FDJ–Suez teammate Juliette Labous, winner of the 2022 edition, was expected to be a top contender. Other favorites included Marlen Reusser, a three-time European time trial champion who showed strong climbing ability during the 2025 La Vuelta Femenina, and Elisa Longo Borghini, who won the UAE Tour Women to start the season.[1][4] Other riders mentioned in pre-race analysis were Lotte Kopecky, Antonia Niedermaier, Nienke Vinke, Amanda Spratt, and Ella Wyllie.[1][4][5]

Route

After lacking a significant summit finish in 2024, the 2025 route added a difficult climb to Picón Blanco, a 7.8 km climb with average grade of 9%. It is a common climb in the men's Vuelta a Burgos.[4] The race also included an individual time trial for the first time.[1]
