Vingegaard aims to carry strong form into Volta a Catalunya
# Vingegaard Sets Eyes on Victory at Volta a Catalunya
From March 23 to 29, the cycling world will turn its attention to the 105th edition of the Volta a Catalunya, featuring a challenging seven-day stage race. The event kicks off with a 172-kilometer stage starting and finishing in Sant Feliu de Guíxols. As the opening stage approaches, Danish cyclist Jonas Vingegaard is excited about his debut in Catalonia.
“I’m very satisfied with how I’m feeling on the bike right now,” Vingegaard shared. “My form is good, and compared to the same period last season, I’m in a better place now. Paris–Nice was my first race of the year, and it was promising. I hope to maintain that feeling over the next seven days.”
Vingegaard, who continues to focus on achieving his best, noted the competitive landscape of this year’s race. “There’s a strong field at the start this week, so I expect a tough race full of challenges,” he remarked. “Many teams, including ours, have strong lineups. I’ll have to keep an eye on several riders in the fight for the overall victory, and I’m looking forward to the battle. I always start with the goal of winning, and that’s the case again this week.”
The Volta a Catalunya serves not only as a marquee event but also as a strategic preparation for Vingegaard, who is gearing up for the Giro d’Italia. “After Catalonia, there are still five weeks until the start of the Giro,” he explained. “After this, I’ll have a short rest period, followed by another altitude training camp to head to Italy in the best possible shape. But first, all the focus is on the coming week.”
With his sights firmly set on both the upcoming stages and the Giro, Vingegaard is ready to take on the Catalan roads. Fans can expect an exciting week ahead as he aims for triumph in his first-ever Volta a Catalunya.
