Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 2025, March 24-30

[Lequack]

So after the exciting Milano SanRemo, we have an exciting stage race. Ayuso come to this race fresh after winning Tirreno, hoping for more wins. Roglic returns to racing, honing his for before the Giro. However Vingegaard will not race as he's still not recovered from his crash. But we get the return of mythical Sepp Kuss instead, as well as Geraint Thomas.

Notable GC mentions: Roglic, Adam&Simon Yates, O'Connor, Mas, Ayuso, Landa, Carapaz, Sivakov, Van Eetvelt, Lenny Martinez, Bernal, Thomas, Kuss, Kelderman
Notable sprinters: Groves, Bittner, van den Berg, Vernon

Holy moly I forgot it was time for Suckwheel and Stomp again

Whoops, I made a thread in parallel.

So... we should not turn that thread into a new "Dot"?

Holy moly I forgot it was time for Suckwheel and Stomp again

It will be interesting to watch if there isn't a clear wheel to follow suck

Another question: will Soler work for Ayuso?

 

[Monsi]

Can't wait to see what UAE disasterclass awaits us in this race. Ayuso, Yates, and Soler in the same team? Yeah it's about to be a movie.

 

[Didinho]

There will only be Juan stomp.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Incoming Gall gc podium.

Two OPs were made almost simultaneously for this race: this one was posted first, so I have locked the other.

Not much had been added to Netserk's thread, but it is preserved for posterity. I've copied across below a couple of elements from his OP that might enhance the info here:

[Rockestar_33]

This is made for Rogla. Yates x2, BOC, Mas and Carapaz the best of the rest IMO.

Groves the other watch as an Aussie on stage 2

 

[Peyroteo94]

Roglic will win this race. He was in Teide for 3 weeks, all other important gc riders were racing in March.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

The great Nairo Quintana will be making an appearance, as will the other formerly great Colombian mountain goat Chaves, so hopefully I'll get a brief glimpse of either. And I'll be pulling for old G also.

You might even get a glimpse of Sosa!

Wrong profile.

Oh, I got it from their Twitter page, maybe they've changed it since?
EDIT: Yes your'e right, it seems they've shortened it. Thanks for noticing, will update the profile.

And here's the yearly reminder (for USians in particular) that the last stage is shown very early and that you have to take summer time in to account.

Did I miss that when copying stuff from the other thread? Apologies if so.

Stage 1 looks a bit easier than usual, but instead they do the full coast road from Tossa del Mar this time. I guess it should offer enough left, right, up and down to thin out the bunch before the sprint, if wanted
