The 2022 Volta a Catalunya was a road cycling stage race that took place between 21 and 27 March 2022. The race took place primarily in the autonomous community of Catalonia in northeastern Spain, with the rest of the route in the department of Pyrénées-Orientales (known as Northern Catalonia) in southern France.[1] It was the 101st edition of the Volta a Catalunya and the seventh race of the 2022 UCI World Tour.[2]

Teams[edit]

All 18 UCI WorldTeams and six UCI ProTeams made up the 24 teams that participated in the race.[3] UCI ProTeam Gazprom–RusVelo was among the original invitees,[4] but on 1 March 2022, the UCI revoked the licences of Russian and Belarusian teams due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[5] Of the invited teams, all but three entered a full squad of seven riders; Bora–Hansgrohe, Lotto–Soudal, Team Jumbo–Visma each entered six riders. Israel–Premier Tech was reduced to six riders with one non-starter. In total, 165 riders started the race, of which 94 finished.[6]
