The 2017 Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana (transl. 2017 Tour of the Valencian Community) was a road cycling stage race that took place in the Valencian Community between 1 and 5 February 2017. The race was rated as a 2.1 event as part of the 2017 UCI Europe Tour, and was the 68th edition of the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana.[2]
The race was won by Colombian rider Nairo Quintana for the Movistar Team,[3] who took the race lead on the penultimate day after winning the queen stage of the race atop the Alto Mas de la Costa. The podium was completed by a pair of BMC Racing Team riders,[3] having assumed their positions after a first-day team time trial victory; Ben Hermans finished 13 seconds behind Quintana in second, with Manuel Senni finishing third – winning the white jersey for the young rider classification as a result – a further 19 seconds in arrears. In the race's other classifications, Cyril Gautier (AG2R La Mondiale) won both the sprints and mountains classifications, Philippe Gilbert won the combination classification – for the best positioning over all classifications – for Quick-Step Floors, while the Movistar Team won the teams classification.
