The early season racing starts to gather pace with the first of the Spanish stage races, the 75th edition of the Volta A La Comunitat Valenciana. Even though there are no giant mountains, the five very hilly stages set in and around the city of Valencia make this a race for the climbers, not the sprinters.
All are lumpy but stage four is the toughest. The 175km between Teulada Moraira and Vall d’Ebo has an uphill finish that will prove pivotal in the race outcome.
Favourites for the overall are the duo of Matej Mohoric and Pello Bilbao (Bahrain - Victorious), the twin attack of Aleksander Vlasov, and Jai Hindley (BORA - hansgrohe) and Brandon McNulty UAE (Team Emirates).
Stage four was the queen stage of the race set on the roads to the north of Calp, made famous as the venue for training camps during the winter. A break was allowed to escape but never given much room because all the favourites will have marked this stage to launch their attack to win the overall.
Unfortunately the end of the stage was curtailed due to the death of a spectator with the final climb cut from the race and a new finish installed on the penultimate climb some 14 kilometres earlier. This change was relayed to the teams with just 24 kilometres to go so plans had to be changed and strategies altered.
Hitting the new final and savage 6 kilometre climb the break was caught and all hell was about the break lose. The surprise leader Alessandro Tonelli would have to put in the ride of his life to stay in the yellow jersey and alas he just didn't have the power and the win and the new race lead went to the American Brandon McNulty.
The final stage is a very short 93 km from Bétera to the heart of Valencia.
