The 2013 Tour of the Basque Country was the 53rd running of the Tour of the Basque Country cycling stage race. It started on 1 April in Elgoibar and ended on 6 April in Beasain, and consisted of six stages, including a race-concluding individual time trial. It was the ninth race of the 2013 UCI World Tour season.
The race was won by Colombia's Nairo Quintana of the Movistar Team, after gaining enough time on the final time trial stage to move ahead of the previous race leader Sergio Henao of Team Sky.[1] Quintana – the winner of the race's queen stage, the fourth stage, to Eibar–Arrate – had trailed by six seconds going into the stage, but overturned this disadvantage to eventually win the race by 23 seconds over Henao's teammate Richie Porte.[2] Quintana also won the points classification on the final stage,[1] surpassing Henao in that competition also. Porte, winner of the fifth stage, had started the stage in third place but also overhauled Henao, who eventually finished the race third. Third stage winner Henao finished the race 11 seconds down on Porte, and 34 down on his countryman Quintana.[2]
The race's other jerseys both went to Caja Rural–Seguros RGA rider Amets Txurruka; having featured in the opening stage breakaway, Txurruka led the mountains and sprints classifications from start to finish, taking home the red and white polka dot and orange jerseys respectively.[3] The teams classification was won by the Movistar Team, after placing Beñat Intxausti inside the top ten overall as well as Quintana.[1]
