Preview
The 39th edition of the Setmana Catalana (Catalan Week) runs from Monday, March 25 through to Friday, March 29. The race will feature the winners of the Giro and the Vuelta, Gilberto Simoni (Saeco) and Angel Casero (Team Coast), as well as Erik Zabel (Telekom). The race will not feature TdF winner Lance Armstrong, who will instead compete in the Criterium International as part of his preparation for the spring classics.
Others who were originally scheduled to start but won't be there include Mario Cipollini (resting after Milan-San Remo), Jan Ullrich (injured knee) and Erik Dekker (broken femur). Dekker's Rabobank team will instead be led by American Levi Leipheimer, who has shown some promising early season form.
The five day race is split into six stages, including a 10.3 kilometre time trial on the second afternoon. The toughest stage is the third, which finishes atop the 2000 metre climb of the Col de Pal. The race covers 737 kilometres in total.
