The 102nd edition of the Volta a Catalunya draws to a close with the now-traditional circuit around Barcelona. The peloton faces six punchy laps in the final 50km, each of which features an ascent of the leg-breaking climb up to Castell de Montjuïc (800m at 8.2%). It’s a stage that never disappoints and has seen the race leader's green jersey change hands in the past but will it happen again in 2023? Useful Links: GCN+ | Every. Unmissable.

Stage 5 features just as much climbing as the previous stage, but this is a day for the GC riders and the last opportunity for the pure climbers to really punish their rivals. Like stage 2, it's all about the final climb - Lo Port - 8.5km long at a brutal 8.7%. It’s half the length of Vallter 2000, but it’s steeper and better suited to the explosive climbers.

The Queen stage of this year’s race awaits. There are two categorised climbs before the lung-busting ascent to Vallter, but they matter little in the grand scheme of things - it's all about the final climb! Vallter 2000 is a 17.7km-long beast with an average gradient of 6.1% and max gradients of 13%. It also tops out at 2,120m, making it the highest summit finish to feature in a WorldTour stage race so far this year. Useful Links: GCN+ | Every. Unmissable.

This year’s Race to the Sun draws to a close with a short but explosive stage around Nice. It’s almost a carbon-copy of last year’s final stage, with five categorised climbs (2,284m of total elevation gain) crammed into the space of just 117.1km. There are plenty of opportunities to attack, the best of which - the iconic Col d’Èze (6.2km at 7.6%) - falls within the final 20km of the stage! Useful Links: GCN+ | Every. Unmissable.

The real mountains finally arrive on this queen stage of this year’s Paris-Nice. The Côte de Tourette-du-Château (17.8km at 4.6%) comes first, before the peloton tackles the brutal Col de la Couillole (16.2km at 7.1%). Whoever leads the general classification after today will be in prime position to take home the yellow yersey with just one stage remaining in Nice tomorrow. Useful Links: GCN+ | Every. Unmissable.

Stage 4 is the longest of the race at 218.7km. This is the first real test for the GC riders, with four ascents of the short but punchy climb to Tortoreto (3km at 7%) in the last 55km. Expect a cagey race up until the final climb before the climbers, puncheurs and GC riders all come to the fore to battle it out for the stage win and perhaps the race leader's jersey too!
