Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana 2021 – Stage 4 [FULL STAGE – Individual Time Trial]

April 17, 2021

Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana 2021 – Stage 4 ITT – Xilxes – Playa Almenara : 14,3 km

The Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana, a five-day stage race that debuted way back in 1929, is one of Spain’s oldest bicycle races. Ever since its first edition in the late 20s, the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana has served as an early season warm-up race for the bigger and more prestigious stage races due to fall later in the year. From 2009 to 2015 the race experienced a short hiatus, but in 2016 it returned and since then it has grown bigger – and better – with every edition. The race is now part of the UCI’s ProSeries and has become one of the biggest stage races in Spain as a result. The five-day event is held primarily within the autonomous community of Valencia, with a dynamic mixture of flat, hilly and high-mountain stages making up the race.
