Two lovely races this week:

This week we see the first races of some of the major players in the spring campaigns and the season overall.

Mads Pedersen, Joao Almeida, Biniam Girmay, and Giulio Pellizari will ride their first race against Evenepoel and the cat-killer Tiberi in and around Valencia.

And in the Bességes we will see French star Paul Lapeira battle it out with an assortment of other strong-but-not-quite-star rider such as Kubiš, Delettre, Costiou, Teuns and an apparently reanimated Groenewegen.

Enjoy!

Volta Comunitat Valenciana

last stage

It was a tight finish, the breakaway men with the peloton on their back, falling twice in the curves of the urban final part, particularly the 2 Ineos riders who re-established the Sky/Ineos tradition of getting wiped out by losing their front wheel grip.

Raul Garcia (🇪🇸 Movistar ex-Arkéa), climber-TT-man, managed to outsprint his remaining breakaway mates, as well as the peloton sprinters who came 5 yards behind.
