I took a breather in the peloton after leaving behind two high mountain stages, both led by Slovenian Tadej Pogacar. Now the cyclists must face a short day, 169 kilometers, where the leader and the best cyclists classified in the general classification are expected to let themselves go, paying attention to the other runners, who must take advantage of their opportunities, which are rare. in a race.short like Volta.
After leaving Sort -first time the Catalan round will start in the capital of Pallars Sobirà– the platoon will go down towards La Pobla de Segurbefore facing the only difficulty of the day, Port d’Àgersecond category.
A dizzying descent follows where the race is launched at full speed, more than having three. intermediate sprint of Balaguer, Linyola and Les Borges Blanques, before lowering the checkered flag Lleida. The Ilerdense capital is one of the most visited cities of the Volta, hosting the start or finish of the Catalan round up to 73 times since it was part of the first edition in the history of the race in 1911, although today I have not he visited for eleven years.
Great names in cycling history like Mario Cipolini, Laurent Jalabert, Maurizio Fondriest or Miquel Poblet won a stage of the Volta in capital of Segrià. Which cyclist will raise his arms in victory today on ‘Terra Ferma’?
