Analysis
The Coll de Pradell, at last! The HC climb, arguably the most challenging in the whole of Catalunya and an ascent asked for by cycling aficionados in the area for many years, this great difficulty will be part of the 103rd Volta, which slightly reinvents itself by including it into a Queen, decisive stage six, Saturday 23rd March.
The previous ascents to Batallola (Cat-3), Cal Ros (Cat-2), Sant Isidre (Cat-1) and the finish in Queralt (Cat-1) complete the menu of a long-awaited, overly exciting day.
Before that, the Catalan stagerace’s peloton will have to tackle most of its ‘usual suspects’. Following the lumpy opener in Sant Feliu (Monday 18th), with an uphill finishes, two Pyrenean mountain-top finishes await: the seemingly endless Vallter (HC; Tuesday 19th) and the classic Toses (Cat-1), Cantó (HC) and Port Ainé (Wednesday 20th).
The route is completed by two likely bunch sprints, in Lleida (Thursday 21st) and Viladecans (Friday 22nd), and the famous, race-wrapping six laps around the Montjuïc mountain in Barcelona (Sunday 24th).
