Career

Barta was the second youngest rider in the 2016 Tour of California. He rode in the 2019 Vuelta a España, his first Grand Tour. He also rode the 2020 Vuelta, finishing 22nd overall. He recorded a second-place finish on stage 13, an individual time trial; he had held the best time until Primož Roglič bettered his time by one second. Barta's first professional win came in the fifth and final stage of the 2024 Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana, when Barta was part of a breakaway group and then made a solo attack on the steepest slopes of La Frontera climb, riding solo for over 50km to take the stage victory.
