The 25th edition of the Volta ao Concelho de Loulé Júnior runs from Thursday to Saturday, bringing together an Iberian squad of 22 teams, at the end of a first phase of the season of great intensity for Portuguese juniors.

After three competitions of the Portuguese Cup and the National Cup of Hopes, in which they shared the peloton with the under-23s, the Portuguese juniors find one of the main goals of the year, the Volta ao Concelho de Loulé Júnior.

The peloton will consist of 22 teams, which means that 14 Portuguese teams will face the competition of eight teams coming from Spain.
