Yesterday the organizers of the Volta a Catalunya unveiled a bit more of their course. In the fifth edition, Valls will again host the race.
This time Valls will act as starting city and not host a finish as it did in the previous four years, with the success of Simon Gerrans, Luka Mezgec, Alejandro Valverde and Wout Poels. The city will be the starting point of the queen stage on March 24 when the riders will end at the top of the Port Lo climb.
With this element, the puzzle is completed gradually for 2017 edition of the race.
