Preview. From the 31st of January to the 4th of February Spain hosts another high-level race. Throughout these five days, the peloton will tackle the Volta a Comunitat Valenciana.
The opening stage of the race is a hilly one and features a finale in Castellón de la Plana. Three categorized climbs on the day and the most important one summits with 17.4 kilometers to go. It is 7.7 kilometers at 5.1% and will shed sprinters from the field. Furthermore it provides opportunities for attacks - as does the following descent.
The second day of racing does not look too different, however it will be more favourable towards the sprinters. The 162 kilometers have a hilltop close to the finale which is 5 kilometers at 4% - a similar ascent to the Poggio di Sanremo. The climb is not too hard, but it ends with less than 10 kilometers to go and then leads to a very technical descent that ends with only 2 kilometers to go.
Stage 1: Benicassim - Castellón de la Plana, 166.3 kilometers
Stage 2: Canals - Mancomunitat de la Valldigna, 162.6 kilometers
Stage 3 of the Spanish race is finally one for the pure sprinters. The only opportunity. It is not a completely flat day, however the second half should be comfortable for all riders under normal circumstances. The arrival at Orihuela should see a regular bunch sprint.
A difficult day and perhaps the queen stage. Stage 4 ends at the Vall d'Ebo, a location very familiar to the pro peloton who has training camps around this area. 3600 meters of climbing, an ascent of 5.7 kilometers at 9.3% (with much tougher ramps) ends with 16 kilometers to go. There is no descent following, but instead rolling terrain. The riders do go down slightly but then find a hilltop finish of 1.9 kilometers at 7.4% which will create decisive differences if they weren't already beforehand.
In 2023 this stage proved to be an absolute success and the race organizers have brought it back. The 92-kilometer final day has a brutal first half that features a climb of 5 kilometers at 9.3%. The overall classification contenders should be on the attack here. The second half of the stage then has some downhill and is then pan-flat into Valencia, with interesting dynamics at play.
Stage 3: San Vicente del Raspeig - Orihuela, 161.5 kilometers
Stage 4: Teulada-Moraira - Vall d'Ebo, 175.1 kilometers
Stage 5: Bétera - Valencia, 92.8 kilometers
Prediction Volta a Comunitat Valenciana 2024 overall classification:
*** Aleksandr Vlasov, Brandon McNulty
** Jai Hindley, Pavel Sivakov, Pello Bilbao
* Lennard Kämna, Felix Gorssschartner, Einer Rubio, Santiago Buitrago
Pick: Aleksandr Vlasov

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Bruyneel understands nothing about clean competition.Sweep21-12-2024
- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
