Tadej Pogacar has injected some excitement into the opening of stage 2 at the 2024 Volta a Catalunya by doing some typically Tadej Pogacar things, attempting to bridge a 6 minute gap between peloton and breakaway.
With six attackers forming the breakaway, things quickly settled down in the peloton. Pogacar though, was clearly bored and as a result decided to throw the race into chaos, attacking from the peloton. Alongside UAE Team Emirates teammate, Domen Novak, the duo stayed out for around 15 minutes before eventually regrouping with the peloton.
With the stage finishing atop the formidable summit of Vallter 2000, was this wasted energy from the Slovenian? Only time will tell.
Tadej Pogacar et son coéquipier Domen Novak se sont retrouvés en contre derrière l'échappée en début de journée sur la 2e étape de la #VoltaCatalunya103, se terminant sur les pentes de Vallter (11.4 km à 7.4%). Le duo slovène a passé 5km devant le peloton avant d'être repris.
