"The race is not in danger" - Finally good news from Valencia as the Volta a Comunitat Valenciana 2025 will go ahead as city recovers from flooding

The 2025 Tour of Valencia had been put into some uncertainty after the natural disaster and flooding in the city in October, but the organisers have now confirmed the event will go ahead as planned. The 2024 edition was won by Brandon McNulty, and organisers will be relieved to confirm the event can still go in a few months time.

The organisers of the Volta a Comunitat Valenciana released a statement to address what had happened in the region over the past month, "Hundreds of thousands of people have been affected by the tragedy and our competition is part of that. Our storage facilities have been flooded and the vast majority of the material we use for the organization has become unusable.

“In addition, a large part of the Tour’s organisation lives in the affected area, so they have also experienced the tragedy first-hand. It has been a hard blow for us, but our spirit is still strong and we will recover, that is for sure

“We want to confirm that the race is not in danger. The Tour will be held from 5 to 9 February 2025 and we hope to count on your support in a very special edition given the recent events. If necessary, an adjustment of the route will be proposed to allow the Tour of Valencia to continue.”

So it’s clear that the event organisers have done all that they can to help out in the community, whilst also ensuring that the race can go ahead as planned, which is much more positive news that what has been coming out of Valencia in recent weeks.
