The III Volta Ciclista València Féminas - Trofeu Diputació de València will be held from June 1st to 3rd
The 3rd edition of the Volta Ciclista València Féminas - Trofeu Diputació de València for female junior, elite and under23 categories will be held between June 1st and 3rd in Valencia. Coordinated by the Valencia Cycling Federation (FCCV), with the support of the Valencia Provincial Council and the town councils and cycling clubs of the towns of Valencia, Riba-roja de Túria, Lliria and Moncada, the race will once again include the participation of the very best of Spain’s current crop of cyclists.
"
Without the support of the public institutions and clubs it would be impossible to stage events of this type which, among other things, seek to promote tourism and raise awareness of our province, as well as to creation opportunities for women's sport", said the Chair of the Valencia Cycling Federation, Amadeo Olmos.
Stages
The race will start on Friday, June 1st, from Valencia’s Plaza del Ayuntamiento. From the heart of the capital, the riders will take on the 79.1 km 1st stage, which finishes in the town of Riba-roja de Túria.
The second stage will be held on Saturday June 2 in Lliria. Starting in the town’s Plaza Mayor, the riders will complete three laps of a winding circuit to cover a total of 80.5 km.
The third and final stage of the 3rd Volta Ciclista Valencia Féminas will take place on Sunday, June 3, in Moncada. The town will host an 81.5 km stage consisting of six laps of a semi-urban 13.5 km circuit, with start and finish in Calle del Negre.
Participating teams
Several teams have already confirmed their presence in the race, including Hyundai Koryo Car, Retelec Athenea Team, FrigorÃficos Costa Brava, Farto CC, Glas-Smurfit Kappa and Dr Ride-Vektor.
The III Volta Ciclista València Féminas - Trofeu Diputació de València foresees a great participation since “
there are no other events on the domestic calendar during the same period and all Spanish teams will be free to participate, as well as two representatives of the International Cycling Union (UCI))”, explained Olmos.
"
The race was created in 2016 with humble pretensions, just as the Mens Volta a València was created in 2011. The first edition consisted of only two stages, to which we have now added an extra day of competition. La Volta a València de Féminas represents an important means of demonstrating that women also deserve a stage race at the highest level with the participation both of domestic international teams”, concluded FCCV president Amadeo Olmos.
