The cycling season arrives on mainland Spain for the first Spanish stage race of 2025, the 76th edition of the Volta a La Comunitat Valenciana. Unlike last year when the race was set up purely for the climbers, this edition has a little something for everyone.
The five-day event starts with a 33-kilometre hilly team time trial around the town of Orihuela so we will see which teams have been practising the discipline over winter and have their squads drilled to perfection.
Stage 2 hits the mountains and is on paper the toughest stage of the race crossing the popular Col de Rates and Alto de Benimantell before finishing on top of the Alto de Partegat, a savage ascent of 4.3 kilometres with an average gradient of 9.4%. Stage 3 is also pretty lumpy with the 7.8-kilometre Pico del Remedio at around half distance set to shake things up with slopes as steep as 13%.
Stage 4 is hilly rather than mountainous which will favour the opportunists while the GC contenders mark each other, then stage 5 is the traditional run into Valencia where the race will most likely finish with a mass sprint.
Favourites this year are last year's winner Brandon McNulty (UAE Team Emirates-XRG), Ben O’Connor (Jayco AlUla), João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Jai Hindley (Red Bull-BORA-Hansgrohe), then for the final sprint it has to be last year’s sprint sensations Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) and Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck).

How to watch Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana live streams around the world
It's only natural that you might want to watch a 2025 Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana live stream from your home country, but what if you're not there when the race is on?
Look no further than a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.
They're totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favourite right now is NordVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're visiting the U.K. but want to watch your usual Spanish stream, you'd select a location in Spain.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to RTVE or another service listed here and watch the cycling just as you would at home.

The lead changed once again on Stage four as Santiago Buitrago (Bahrain Vicorious) attacked what was left of the peloton on the final ramp to the line to take his second stage win of the race.
Crossing solo, 6 seconds clear of the next man he was able to overturn his deficit on João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and now looks almost certain to seal overall victory on the final stage five, a sprint stage into Valencia.
