The 2025 Volta Valenciana takes place over five stages from Wednesday February 5 to Sunday February 9.
The race opens, rather unusually for such a short stage race, with a team time trial that, at 34.3km in length, will shape the entire race from the off. The very next day, there’s a summit finish as stage 2 represents the hardest day of the whole event.
More hilly terrain awaits on the following two days before the race closes out on stage 5 on Sunday with flat terrain and a chance for the sprinters.
There are broadcast options for the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana in the UK, US, and Canada, as well as free live streaming in Spain. Read on for all the details on how to watch the Volta Valenciana wherever you are in the world.
Today at the Volta Valenciana: Stage 2 TV timings
Today’s stage, on February 6, is stage 2, running 166 kilometres from La Nucia to Benifato for a summit finish on the Alto Partegat.
Mathias Vacek wears the leader’s yellow jersey after Lidl-Trek’s victory in the stage 1 team time trial on Wednesday, but there is sure to be a shake-up at the day’s end, with this a crucial stage for the general classification.
The stage gets underway just before 1pm local time CET (12pm GMT / 7am ET), with 90 minutes of TV coverage scheduled to cover the final part of the stage.
TV start: 3.30pm CET / 2.30pm GMT / 9.30am ET
TV finish: 5pm CET / 4pm GMT / 11am ET
