The Volta a Catalunya Femenina is a road cycling race held annually in Catalonia, Spain. It was first held in 2024 as a counterpart to the men's Volta a Catalunya. It is classified as a 2.1 race by the Union Cycliste Internationale.[1][2]
History
The men's Volta a Catalunya was first held in 1911, and is currently held as a UCI World Tour race as one of the major tune up races for the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France.[3][4] The first women's equivalent was the ReVolta, a one-day race held on the final day of the men's race, usually in March. In 2024, the ReVolta was replace by the Volta a Catalunya Femenina, a three-stage race classified as 2.1.[2] The organizers intend the race to eventually serve as a warm-up for major women's stage races like the Giro d'Italia Women and Tour de France Femmes.[5]
Marianne Vos won the first edition in 2024, after winning the second stage summit finish on La Molina.[6] In 2026, Paula Blasi became the first Catalan rider, male or female, to win the Volta a Catalunya since Joaquim Rodríguez in 2014.[7]
