This Friday the fifth stage of the Tour of Catalonia 2026 between La Seu d’Urgell and La Molina (Coll de Pal)<\/strong>of 155 kilometers, which he hopes will finally be the contact with the high mountains of this race and an end in a special category climb. Follow it live on Teledeporte and RTVE Play starting at 2:20 p.m.<\/p>\n The Volta comes to this day after four sprint stages, since Thursday’s day had to be shortened due to the weather and was left at the gates of the Pyrenees. Thus, the leader continues to be the Frenchman Dorian Godon (Ineos), although the differences in the general classification are not significant between the contenders for the final victory, starting with the Dane Jonas Vingegaard (Visma).<\/p>\n The stage 5 of the Volta 2026<\/strong> It is designed for great leaders to move the race. With more than 4,400 meters of elevation gain, any sign of weakness will be paid for with minutes at the top of Coll de Pal.<\/p>\n The route is a succession of climbs that will not give the peloton any respite from the start in Alt Urgell. To begin with, a first category in the Port of Colldarnat<\/strong> (1,335m), known as the “Stelvio Catal\u00e0<\/strong>“. It has 15.3 km of ascent at an average of 5%. You then pass through the Coll de Josa<\/strong> (2nd category – 1,615m), a 4.7 km ascent that remains tough before entering the Sierra del Cad\u00ed area. Again a first, the Coll de Fumanya<\/strong> (1,565m), short but explosive port of 6.7 km with an average slope of 7% and terrible ramps of up to 18%.<\/p>\n Almost without respite we reached the Colada Sovereign<\/strong> (1st category – 1,215m), located at km 119.4. Its 7.1 km at 6.5% will serve to select the group of favorites before the descent towards Guardiola de Bergued\u00e0<\/strong> y Baga<\/strong>. The final ‘colossus’ is the Coll de Pal<\/strong> (special category). It is the great protagonist of the day and one of the longest and most demanding passes in all of Catalonia. It culminates in 2.085 metros<\/strong> of altitude after an endless ascent of 18.9 km. The average slope is 7.0% with ramps that reach 14%<\/strong>. Being such a long pass, strength management and the altitude factor (the 2,000m barrier is once again surpassed) will be key to not fainting in the last kilometers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n All stages of the Return to Catalonia 2026<\/strong> They can be seen live from Monday, March 23 to Sunday, March 29, 2026 on Teledeporte, as well as in streaming through the RTVE Play platform, with comments from Carlos de Andr\u00e9s and Perico Delgado<\/strong>.
