OCG continues to discover unprecedented routes to showcase our culture and our land. Because we are not a race, we are “History of Galicia.”
The best version of a country is offered by top-level cycling. We understand cycling as an unbeatable tool to promote the different attractions of our land, paths, wild coasts and colourful forests. Galicia offers the best setting for the spectacle of major cycling races.
With early editions unworthy of a 2.1 category race, O Gran Camiño is building a record full of top-tier champions.
A journey that began in 2022, where Spanish cycling legend Alejandro Valverde claimed victory (his last as a professional) in a fiercely contested final time trial, followed by two wins for Danish rider Jonas Vingegaard, who dominated each edition he participated in (also racking up 6 stage wins across the two years he competed), and most recently a victory for Canadian Derek Gee, a rising talent who has been impressing the world since 2023 with his remarkable quality. His achievements already include: a stage win in the highly prestigious Critérium du Dauphiné, a ninth-place finish in the 2023 Tour de France (his first and so far only appearance), and a fourth-place finish in the recent Giro d’Italia, battling with the best until the very last day of the race.
The best version of a country is offered by first level cycling. We understand cycling as an unbeatable tool to show the different attractions of our land, roads, wild coasts and colorful forests. Galicia offers the best scenario for the cycling spectacle of the great races.
One of the premises we had in mind from the beginning of the project was to take the event to another level, offering different points of view.
In the 2023 edition, we materialised this idea with the use of an FPV drone during the live broadcast. An unprecedented resource, until now, in this type of competition. The device was piloted by Ivan Merino, who leads the national ranking and has extensive experience in Moto GP and Formula 1.
2 hours a day of the best live TV coverage with an audiovisual production at the same level of Grand Tours.
A STORY OF GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS
Galicia is a region of tradition when it comes to cycling, with a great number of names in the history books of cycling, both in old and modern times. Cyclists such as Rodríguez Barros brothers (of whom Delio still holds the record of stage wins in the Tour of Spain with a total of 39), Álvaro Pino, Jesús Blanco Villar, Óscar Pereiro or “deluxe” domestiques that were part of top-level teams during their professional careers such as Marcos Serrano or José Ángel Vidal, are some of the names that are part of the cycling culture.
Moreover, Galicia had for many years a professional race that brought together the best riders of international cycling.
With a first edition dated in 1933 and despite not happening in some years, the palmares of the race is linked with distinguished names of the cycling history of different eras: Salvador Cardona, Julián Berrendero, Vicente Belda, Marino Lejarreta, Laudelino Cubino, Miguel Induráin, Abraham Olano, Laurent Jalabert, Claudio Chiapucci, Andrew Hampsten, Piotr Ugrumov, Gianni Bugno o Frank Vandenbroucke are a few of the stars that participated in some of its editions.
Big names from our land: Delio Rodríguez, Emilio Rodríguez (on 3 occasions), Blanco Villar y Marcos Serrano also had the professional Volta a Galicia in their palmares.
This background is an additional incentive for cycling fans and teams to pay special attention to O Gran Camiño, a new stage race that, despite having its first edition in 2022, has tradition and history already in its favour.
