Win The Volta Leader’s Jersey

The Volta a Catalunya and its clothing sponsor Sumattory are offering readers a chance to win a leader’s jersey from race, signed by the race winner.

Just predict the winner of each day’s stage and you could have a signed race jersey from the World Tour.

The Prize
A signed leader’s jersey from the Volta a Catalunya from Sumattory, the cycle clothing company from the Pyrenees.

The Rules
Just name the winner of each stage left in the race via a comment below. Now that we’ve had a few stages it should be easier to work out who you want to back and who’s off the pace.

You can submit your picks every remaining stage in one go (eg Stage 4, 5, 6 and 7 now) or you can do it day by day, (eg Stage 4 now, then Stage 5 the next day).

Either way you need to get your pick in before midday Euro time for each stage.

The race ends on Sunday and you’ll find stage profiles in Monday’s race preview.

If your pick is in the top 10 then I’ll award 15 points to the winner, 10 for second place, 8 for third and then 7-6-5-4-3-2-1 points down to tenth place. At the end of the race your points will be totalled up and the highest score will get the jersey.

  32. Stage 4: POZZOVIVO Domenico (AG2R LA MONDIALE)
    Stage 5: URAN URAN Rigoberto (SKY PROCYCLING)
    Stage 6: PINOT Thibaut (FDJ)
    Stage 7: HAEDO Lucas Sebastian (CANNONDALE)

  108. Stage 4 – A.Valverde
    (Rodriguez and Quintana are strong options too but I’ll plump for Valverde even though I’m not a particular fan. All three looking in good form. I was impressed with Wiggins on stage 3 so will be interesting how he fares on the queen stage)

    • Hey Inring, thanks again for the cool contest and prize. Valverde out so:

      Stage 4: Purito
      Stage 5: Meersman
      Stage 6: Roche
      Stage 7: Wiggins

      • You can change your future picks.

        All picks have to be in BY MIDDAY each day but I’ll let people’s stage 4 picks stand for today.

        Please aim to put your Stage 5 picks in by midday European time.

        • Slightly confused,

          So was my stage 4 pick left as Valverde or changed to JRod.
          I’m happy to acecpt my fate if it’s Valverde, but it’s nice to know which end of the game I’m at.

          • Yes, you have to have Valverde. Otherwise people can keep submitting picks during the stage and then insert the winner’s name five seconds after they cross the line!

            All picks have to be made by midday, I was being nice to accept your choice of Valverde after the deadline. Hope this sounds fair.

          • I love your work and I don’t want to be a hassle and I’d reply to your comment but I can’t for some reason. I’m happy to have my pick stay as Valverde or be switched to JRod but I want to be clear on the events.

            I chose Valverde first, then when I heard he crashed I asked if I could switch to JRod well before the final climb but before the cut0off. You said yes I’d have to have Valverde (my original choice), but then you said you’d be nice and grant me Valverde (who I didn’t want). So what was my rider?

            Again… You’re the man. Just want to know where I stand. And to save you explaining your decision, just give me a name.

  130. Good luck with all the picks, keep them coming and even if you missed today’s stage you can still win with some good choices for the next few days.

    I’m collating them into a spreadsheet but it’s an awkward data entry task.

    If you think I’ve got the points wrong for you, let me know as it’s manual work to manage this and mistakes can happen.

  168. I might be missing something but I think Liam Gaffney should be ahead of me having predicted Martin, Dumoulin and Gerrans thus far. I am happy to be wrong though.

  169. Here’s the leaderboard, updated and hopefully fixed although provisional for now. Let me know if you think your points need adjusting, a commissaire’s report takes 10 seconds.
