Overview

  • Nienke Veenhoven won the opening stage in Santa Susanna on Friday, with Marianne Vos finishing second and the general classification still wide open.
  • UAE Team ADQ said Paula Blasi’s Colnago Y1Rs race bike was stolen after the first stage and the team has asked the public and local police for help locating the highly identifiable machine.
  • Saturday’s queen stage is a 130 km route to La Molina that includes the steep Coll de la Creueta and is expected to decide the overall winner of the three-day Volta.
  • The race fields 22 teams, including five WorldTour squads and five ProTeams, and is being shown regionally on Esport 3 and TV-3 with wider coverage on Eurosport and RTVE Play.
  • This is the Volta femenina’s third edition and organisers aim to solidify its standing after past winners Marianne Vos (2024) and Demi Vollering (2025), while Blasi’s breakout season and local profile have heightened attention on the event.
