, with the Tour de France, Tour de France Femmes and much more.

With seven stages in as many days, the Spain-based race provides the peloton with a perfect opportunity to prepare for what is to come at the Giro d’Italia and, later, the Tour de France.

It all begins in Sant Feliu de Guixols, where the opening stage stretches 173.9 kilometres from the coast of Catalonia before heading inland off the back of four climbs.

This year’s edition wastes little time taking riders to their limits, with the first high-altitude summit – 2,000 metres to be exact – coming on the final climb of the Vallter 2000 ski station on Stage 2.

Port Aine is one of three relentless climbs scheduled for Stage 3, followed by another midway through Stage 4, before riders head southeast towards Barcelona for a fifth stage that will cover 167.3 kilometres.

A two-hour transfer to Berga will then precede a penultimate stage teeming with classified climbs – five, in fact – including the 4,085-metre-long climb to the finish line in Queralt.

The Volta maintains its punishing theme right to the end in Barcelona, complete with a category three climb of the Coll de la Creu de I’Ordal and six circuits that include the Alt del Castell de Montjuic.

It all promises to be a hard-fought and enthralling edition of the Volta a Catalunya, and SBS VICELAND will provide live coverage of every stage alongside SBS On Demand.
