Who will win the youth classification in the 2025 Vuelta a España according to the computer? In other words: who are the favorites for the white jersey?

The leader in the youth classification is the best ranked rider that was aged 25 or younger at the start of the season. The rule means we'll see a broad group of young riders competing this year: more than sixty in total. Luca Van Boven (Intermarché-Wanty, January 6, 2000) is the oldest who just falls within the eligibility limits, while Markel Beloki (July 27, 2005), barely twenty years old and son of former podium finisher Joseba Beloki, is the youngest.

Among the favourites for the final victory are still some eligible for the white jersey competition: for example Juan Ayuso and Giulio Pellizzari. Other strong young climbers are Junior Lecerf and Valentin Paret-Peintre from Soudal Quick-Step. Also Ben Tulett and Matthew Reiccitello are two youngsters with strong climbing skills. 

Normally, Ayuso is at a different level compared to the others, but it is still an open fight for the white jersey in this Vuelta.
