Volta a Catalunya 2025 Route stage 7: Barcelona – Barcelona

The Barcelona stage has been a staple for years now and it remains to be for at least the next three years. Following a 41 kilometres loop around the Catalan capital, 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 2.3 kilometre-downhill to the line.

Last year, Tadej Pogacar capped his dominant performance with a fourth stage win, securing the overall title in his race debut. With his Barcelona stage win, he succeeded Remco Evenepoel (2023), Andrea Bagioli (2022), Thomas De Gendt (2021, 2013), Davide Formolo (2019), Simon Yates (2018), and Alejandro Valverde (2017, 2015).

The first three riders to cross the finish line bag time bonuses of 10, 6, and 4 bonus seconds, while the intermediate sprints offer 3, 2, and 1 seconds.

Stage 7 of the Volta a Catalunya starts at 10:55 and the race is expected to finish around 12:55 – both are local times (CET).
