Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 2017 – Stage 7 [FULL STAGE + Ceremony Awards]

March 26, 2017
Volta Ciclista a Catalunya 2017 – Stage 7 – Barcelona – Barcelona – 132,7 km

The 2017 Volta a Catalunya is a road cycling stage race that is scheduled to take place between 20 and 26 March. It will be the 97th edition of the Volta a Catalunya and will be the ninth event of the 2017 UCI World Tour.

Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) underlined his crushing domination of the 2017 Volta a Catalunya this year with a superbly timed third and final stage win on Sunday, this time in a small group sprint in the Montjuic park in Barcelona.

Already victorious this week in La Molina and the crucial summit finish of Lo Porto, in Barcelona the Movistar rider chased down a surging late attack by Dan Martin (Quick Step Floors) with just three kilometres remaining in the last of eight hilly laps in Montjuic. Valverde then fended off the bunch, headed in by Jarlinson Pantano (Trek-Segafredo) by half a bike length for the seventh stage win of his career in the Volta. Valverde has now taken the Volta a Catalunya for a second time in his career, too, with his next big objectives the Ardennes Classics, where he also has multiple wins in Fleche Wallonne and Liege-Bastogne-Liege.
