Race Thread: Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 2026 - Lemmy.World

It’s time for the 105th edition of the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya - a hilly and mountainous week-long WT race which has in the past been won by some true legends - Roglic, Pogacar, Higuita, Yates, Lopez, ValVerde, Quintana, Porte, Rodriguez, and so on and so forth. This year the race has the following profiles in the peloton according to PCS: * VINGEGAARD Jonas * EVENEPOEL Remco * ALMEIDA João * PIDCOCK Thomas * VINE Jay * ONLEY Oscar * MCNULTY Brandon * CICCONE Giulio * MARTINEZ Lenny * GALL Felix Which is… a weird sort of list, since it ignores Lipowitz, Skjelmose, Riccitello, Mas, Gaudu, and countless other strong riders. The big question will of course be - will Vingegaard crush Evenepoel, Pidcock, and Almeida like he did to the competition in Paris-Nice? Surely this field is stronger? All of that will be answered in the coming days! - 23/03: Stage 1 — Sant Feliu de Guíxols to Sant Feliu de Guíxols - 24/03: Stage 2 — Figueres to Banyoles - 25/03: Stage 3 — Mont-roig del Camp to Vila-seca - 26/03: Stage 4 — Mataró to Vallter - 27/03: Stage 5 — La Seu d’Urgell to La Molina/Coll de Pal - 28/03: Stage 6 — Berga to Queralt - 29/03: Stage 7 — Barcelona to Barcelona

Pogacar: slaps down doing close to 60km/h just before Cipressa. Attacks on Cipressa, drops VDP on Poggio and wins a sprint from the front against Pidcock.

Evenepoel: the airco in his hotel didn't work so he loses 2 minutes to guys who will be fighting for 8th in GC next TDF.

Also Evenepoel: I think I can beat Pogacar in a grand tour.

It’s time for the first monument of the year and the longest race of the year - 298 km without the neutral start. Yes, boysngals, it’s the Milano-San Remo weekend. Legendary Danish poet, sports commentator, and film director of the Paris-Roubaix documentary A Sunday in Hell (1976) said it better than I could: > Milano-San Remo is a race where for the longest time nothing happens, and then - suddenly - everything happens! He said it in Danish, of course, but you get the gist of it. If you watch this from start to finish - and I recommend it - you’ll have time for a nap, a snack, and a board game while you wait for the riders to approach the final 70 kms at which point your pulse will slowly start to rise as the climbs start to come - Capo Mele, Capo Cervo, Capo Berta - steady breath - and then… leading into the Cipressa, your mouth will start to go dry as the peloton fights like madmen to get their hopefuls into position for the climb and then POW, it’s the finale and it lasts for the next ~25 kilometers and if you have a heart, I guarantee that you’ll hit pulse 200 somewhere along the way. ---- So who’ll win? Well - that’s anyone’s guess. Here are the PCS top competitors: * POGAČAR Tadej * DEL TORO Isaac * PEDERSEN Mads * VAN DER POEL Mathieu * PIDCOCK Thomas * MAGNIER Paul * MCNULTY Brandon * VAN AERT Wout * BRENNAN Matthew * ANDRESEN Tobias Lund Please don’t let it be Pogacar, though.

Bit late, but this week is also the week of Tirreno-Adriatico. PCS Overview [https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tirreno-adriatico/2026] It seems to be a pretty light edition - which makes it more interesting, I think.
