It has been revealed that the sixth and penultimate stage of the Volta a Catalunya will finish in Reus, in the hinterland of Tarragona where the airport of the Mediterranean city is located.
The finish in Reus excludes the possibility of a mountain stage before the last stage with the classic finish in Barcelona on Sunday.
The route of the ninety-seventh edition of the race is now almost completed. All that is missing is the finish of the fourth stage. Chris Froome (Team Sky) has already announced that he will be at the start. The presence of Alberto Contador (Trek) is also planned.
