The 2010 Volta a Catalunya was the 90th running of the race.[1] It was the second race of the UCI ProTour calendar of 2010,[2] and took place from 22nd to 28th March 2010.

Participating teams

As the Volta a Catalunya was a UCI ProTour event, all 18 ProTour teams were automatically invited and obligated to send a squad. Four Professional Continental teams rounded out the event's peloton. Each team was entitled to eight riders on their squad, but Lampre–Farnese Vini, Team HTC–Columbia, and Team Milram sent only seven, and Team Sky sent only six, meaning the event had 171 riders at its outset.

The 22 teams in the race were:

Stages

Stage 1

22 March 2010, Lloret de Mar, 3.6 km (2.2 mi) (individual time trial)

The course for the brief individual time trial, which opened the race was dead flat. This was the same course used in the two years previous in the time trial.[5] Paul Voss of Team Milram was the unexpected winner of the stage, beating out Levi Leipheimer and Andreas Klöden.[6]

Stage 2

23 March 2010, Salt to Banyoles, 182.6 km (113.5 mi)

This course included the race's first climb, the first-category Alt Els Àngels, which crested just before the 60 km (37 mi) mark. The 110 km (68 mi) after the descent to the finish line were mostly flat, leaving a sprint finish.[7]

Peter Stetina and Jonathan Castroviejo formed a two-man escape after 9 km (5.6 mi) of this stage. They took a maximum advantage of eight and a half minutes, but the teams of the sprinters, namely Lampre–Farnese Vini and Team HTC–Columbia, had no trouble catching up to them. In their effort, they had gain the lead in the mountains and sprints competitions after this stage. The finish was contested in a bunched sprint, won by Mark Cavendish. It was Cavendish's first win of 2010 after a difficult early season.[8]

Stage 3

24 March 2010, La Vall d'en Bas to La Seu d'Urgell, 185.9 km (115.5 mi)

This was a difficult stage, with several categorized climbs. The outside categorization Alt del Pedraforça was the Cima Peris, the race's hardest climb, and crested just before the 120 km (75 mi) mark, after two second-category climbs earlier on. Another category-two climb, the Alt de la Josa del Cadí, followed before a 26 km (16 mi) long descent to the finish line.[9]

A 21-rider break began this stage, but it was pulled back after an hour. A group of 14 was next on the attack, after 60 km (37 mi) had been covered. This group at one point had a three-minute advantage on the main field, but the steady tempo that Liquigas–Doimo and Team RadioShack were drilling out reduced the gap. Xavier Tondó, Joaquim Rodríguez and Óscar Pereiro attacked out of the main field when the catch seemed imminent. Pereiro quickly dropped back, as they had at this point reached the hardest parts of the Alt de la Josa del Cadí climb, but Tondó and Rodríguez stayed away to the finish. Tondó won the sprint to the finish line, but Rodríguez became the new race leader, since he had had a better time in the stage 1 time trial. Tondó expressed after the stage that the win had great personal significance for him, since he is from Catalonia and grew up 7 km (4.3 mi) from where the stage ended.[10]

Stage 4

25 March 2010, Oliana to Ascó, 209.7 km (130.3 mi)

This course started at an elevation, undulated gently for a while and then descended int preparation for two second-category climbs. The Alt de Paumeres crested at 20.9 km (13.0 mi) from the finish line, and the finish came on a long descent from that height.[11]

This was a very fast stage, with the first two hours of racing covering more than 100 km (62 mi). During that time, an eight-rider breakaway group formed. They were later reduced to four – Vladimir Efimkin, Thibaut Pinot, Francesco Bellotti, and Jurgen Van De Walle. During the Alt de Paumeres climb, Jens Voigt, who had earlier been dropped from the peloton, made a solo bridge to the four leaders. Once with the group, he set a pace that eventually cracked all of them, sending them back to the chase groups behind. Voigt was the first over the summit, alone. Rein Taaramäe and Roman Kreuziger caught up with Voigt on the descent. After dropping Kreuziger, Taaramäe and Voigt increased their lead over the Team Katusha-led main field, and finished 34 seconds better than them at the finish line. Taaramäe did most of the pace making in the final flat section, since he started on the seventh day in the overall standings and stood to gain more than Voigt, from having such a big time gap as possible on the peloton. Voigt was therefore able to win the sprint easily.[12]
