Volta a Catalunya 2024 Route stage 7: Barcelona – Barcelona

Volta a Catalunya 2024Sunday 24 March - The last stage of the Volta a Catalunya revolves around Alto de Montjuïc in Barcelona. As always, the race boils down to six runs on the hilly 7.8 kilometres city circuit. The 145.3 kilometres long route takes in an elevation gain of almost 2,000 metres.

The Barcelona stage has been a staple for years now and it remains to be so for at least the four coming years. Following a loop around the Catalan capital, this year including the Coll de la Creu d’Ordell (7 kilometres at 4%), the race typically intensifies once the riders enter the circuit with the Alto de Montjuïc at its core.

Montjuïc is an iconic hill overlooking the Catalan capital. The climb to the Montjuïc castle is included six times. Ramping up to 19%, the 2.5 kilometres ascent averages 4.6% before a 1 kilometre descent takes the riders to an uphill of 700 metres at 6%. Each lap concludes with a false flat downhill of 2.3 kilometres to the line.

Last year, the Barcelona stage came down to a compelling Remco Evenepoel versus Primoz Roglic showdown, who had been dominating the race during the entire week. Evenepoel took the stage win, Roglic sealed the GC victory. Other recent winners in Barcelona are Andrea Bagioli (2022), Thomas De Gendt (2021, 2013), Davide Formolo (2019), and Simon Yates (2018).

The first three riders on the line gain time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds, while the intermediate sprints come with 3, 2 and 1 seconds.
