The 2024 route of the Volta a Catalunya has been announced, and race organizers have not spared the use of mountains. In an edition that will be highlighted the presence of Tadej Pogacar, the riders find three mountain stages with summit finishes.
The seven-day race begins once again in Sant Feliu de Guíxols where some sprinters and puncheurs will fight for victory in the same uphill finish as the past two years - one unfortunately known for being the location of Sonny Colbrelli's heart failure, last year's a thrilling sprint between Primoz Roglic and Remco Evenepoel. Stage 4 into Lleida should be the only regular bunch sprint, whilst stage 5 has a flat finish but at the end of a hilly day into Viladecans.
Stage 2 finishes atop the Vallter 2000 climb which is 15 kilometers long at almost 7%, with a summit finish at 2147 meters of altitude. Stage 3 ends atop Port Ainé after two long ascents - the final climb is 18.4 kilometers long at 6.7% and sees it's return for the first time since 2021. Both can be crucial for GC, but a new stage comes into play.
Stage 6 has a summit finish at Queralt, which comes in a day with six categorized climbs including a special category halfway through the day. A new challenge that should seal the overall classification in what is a short day of racing. The race ends in the traditional explosive circuit in Barcelona which includes multiple laps of the Alto de Montjuic.
You can see the official profiles below:
Stage 1: Sant Feliu de Guíxols - Sant Feliu de Guíxols, 173.9 kilometers
Stage 2: Mataró - Vallter 2000, 186.5 kilometers
Stage 3: Sant Joan de les Abadesses - Port Ainé, 176.7 kilometers

- you was so exhausted, ok, then why to ride third-class races immediately after the Tour? do a mix of rest, relax and soft-medium training in your family environment and after the birth of your baby, a month of full, intense training for the world championship! prestigious and suitable race for you (even MAS did well). Sometimes I don't understand Jonas's calendar.
maria2024202423-11-2024 - it’s just a brutal sport, and if you don’t believe in yourself — especially when you’re young — then what’s the point. i get it. that said, the voice of ultra competitive Mads Pedersen after last year’s Roubaix does echo in one’s ears. “mathieu was LEAGUES better than the rest of us… Yeah, i’d like to BELIEVE i could win this race one day, but after what mathieu just did i think that might be difficult…” and that’s MADS PEDERSEN. still, what can pithie do BUT believe?OCexile23-11-2024

- It happens all to often. My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib. Somehow I still train and do some races every year, mainly time trials these days.awp22-11-2024
