Teams and riders

As the race is under the auspices of the UCI ProTour, all eighteen ProTour teams are invited automatically. Three additional wildcard invitations were given to form the event's 21-team peloton.

The 21 teams invited to the race were:

Ag2r–La Mondiale Andalucía–Cajasur Astana Caisse d'Epargne Cervélo TestTeam Euskaltel–Euskadi Footon–Servetto–Fuji

Française des Jeux Garmin–Transitions Lampre–Farnese Vini Liquigas–Doimo Omega Pharma–Lotto Quick-Step Rabobank

Team HTC–Columbia Team Katusha Team Milram Team RadioShack Team Saxo Bank Team Sky Xacobeo–Galicia

Teams consisted of up to eight riders, and 168 riders started the event. The event took place less than a week after the conclusion of the 2010 Tour de France, and many of the riders who took part in that event, are scheduled for this race.

Route

The route is an anticlockwise loop, heading southwest from San Sebastián, reaching its highest point, and its farthest from the city at the Alto de Udana (574 m). It then heads back towards the southern suburbs of the start town, before heading east through the Jaizkibel mountains to Hondarribia on the French border, and then back to San Sebastián.

Categories

As well as the overall race, there were prizes available for amassing most points at five intermediate sprints around the course, and for gaining points at the top of six mountain passes and hilltops.
