Organizers shorten Catalunya stage 4 due to windy mountaintop conditions
Stage 4 of the Volta a Catalunya was expected to be a big day for the general classification as the race was set to finish at the Vallter ski area, but high winds have forced organizers to rethink the route.
Instead of climbing to 2,143 meters, stage 4 will finish at the town of Camprodon, more than a thousand meters lower, dramatically reducing the likelihood of GC action. The climbers can take solace in the fact that Friday's stage is set to be a massive challenge that will include three Cat. 1 climbs before a summit finish high up in the Pyrenees at La Molina.
