The "new" route is strengthen

The fifth edition of Catalunya Bike Race by Oakley returns with "Made in Hermida" routes. After last year's renovation, and the good acceptance of this, we maintain the essence and add great novelties.

A total of 157 kilometers and more than 4,000 meters of climbing in an intense and hard route, but with panoramic views of La Cerdanya to dispute a 5th edition that returns with the mythical trails and some of new creation of the last edition.

Three stages that will begin and end in Puigcerdà, in the Municipal Sports Center but that in each stage will run through very variable areas.

In stage 1 with 42 kilometers and 1,250m + we will pass through Guils Fontanera, Bolvir, Ger and climbing as a highlight to the Nordic ski resort of Guils Fontanera and reaching French lands in Latour de Carol.

The Super Stage with 55 kilometers and 1,500m + will not be the longest stage but the hardest with textual words of the one who has designed the routes again, Jose Antonio Hermida. Where it will run towards Guils Fontanera and up to Latour de Carol but along a different path from stage 1, reaching Meranges and Gréixer.

In the Finisher stage with 59 kilometers and 1,322m+ and to finish this 5th edition of the Catalunya Bike Race by Oakley we will climb to La Molina with an outstanding climb of 5 kilometers from 13 to 17%. At this stage you will find another novelty of this year with the inauguration of the trail 'Torrent de Salteguet', a technical and demanding trail downhill. When you go down it, think that you will be the first to go back down this path, since no one has been circulating on it for more than 30 years.

Here, you will find all the details of the route.
