The 2013 Volta a Catalunya was the 93rd running of the Volta a Catalunya cycling stage race. It started on 18 March in Calella, ended on 24 March in Barcelona, and consisted of seven stages. It was the fifth race of the 2013 UCI World Tour season.
The race was won by the Republic of Ireland's Dan Martin of the Garmin–Sharp team,[2] who took the lead after winning the race's queen stage – the fourth stage – to Port Ainé–Rialp, and maintained the overall lead of the race until the end. As a result, Martin – who had previously finished the race in second place twice and fourth place over the previous four years[3] – became the second Irish rider to win the race after Sean Kelly, who won the race in 1984 and 1986.[4] Martin won the general classification by 17 seconds over runner-up Joaquim Rodríguez (Team Katusha),[5] while Lampre–Merida's Michele Scarponi completed the podium, 17 seconds behind Rodríguez and 34 seconds down on Martin; Scarponi had started the final stage in fifth place, but moved up after proficient attacking on the closing circuits at Barcelona's Montjuïc hill.[6]
The race's other classifications were dominated by the members of the race's opening stage breakaway; Cannondale's Cristiano Salerno was the winner of the red jersey for the mountains classification,[7] while Christian Meier (Orica–GreenEDGE) was the winner of the white jersey for the sprints classification, as well as the yellow jersey for a special sprints classification, honouring the 100th edition of the Tour de France to be held later in the year.[8] Garmin–Sharp were the winners of the teams classification,[9] after also placing Tom Danielson in the top ten overall.
