(17-03-2022).- The Volta Ciclista a Catalunya and Moritz will celebrate together one more edition of the Catalan competition, the 101st in its centenary history. The first beer from Barcelona since 1856 maintains its renewed commitment to cycling and will once again be present at the 2022 edition of the Volta, which will be held between 21 and 27 March, starting in Sant Feliu de Guíxols and finishing in Barcelona.
As in the historic 100th edition of the race, the winners of each of the seven stages will drink a Moritz beer on the podium to celebrate their triumph. Likewise, the beer brand will continue to be the image of the jersey of the best Catalan cyclist that will be awarded on the last day of the race, one of the most popular among the fans and the only one that is on sale to the public.
Last year, David De la Cruz (UAE Team, currently with the Astana Qazaqstan Team) was the winner of this classification. Precisely this year the list of Catalan riders in the Volta has increased considerably, with the guaranteed presence of cyclists such as Marc Soler (UAE Team Emirates), Roger Adrià and Kiko Galván (Kern Pharma Team), Eduard Prades (Caja Rural - RGA) or Antonio Pedrero (Movistar Team), among others.
On the other hand, Moritz is also preparing a festive event at the always spectacular finish of the seventh and last stage in Barcelona, which ends with six exciting laps on the Montjuïc circuit.
"For the Volta Catalunya, the agreement with Moritz is a natural marriage. It is a pleasure to have the support of a Catalan brand with such a long tradition and with whom we have been united by our passion for cycling for so many years", says the president of the Volta a Catalunya, Rubèn Peris.
"As Barcelona's first beer since 1856, supporting what is authentic and what makes us pioneers is part of our essence. That's why we are particularly excited to be linked to the first Volta a Catalunya cycling race. We hope to continue enjoying the Volta closely for many years to come", explains Sergi Martínez, Marketing Director of the Ágora Group.
Moritz is a brand with a recognised historical trajectory in the world of cycling. Especially in the seventies, the beer brand had an important collaboration with several cycling events, even sponsoring its own team.
The Volta Ciclista a Catalunya, for its part, will celebrate its 101st edition in 2022. Between 21 and 27 March, the best cycling teams in the world will travel the Catalan roads in seven varied stages that will start in Sant Feliu de Guíxols and finish in the traditional circuit of Montjuïc, in Barcelona.
