GC Update Volta a Catalunya 2025 | Primoz Roglic takes over race lead on countback after thrilling stage 4 summit finish
CyclingThursday, 27 March 2025 at 17:15
After narrowly losing out to Juan Ayuso on stage 3, Primoz Roglic bounced back in style on stage 4 of the 2025 Volta a Catalunya, gaining a modicum of revenge on his Spanish rival to not only prevail in the sprint for the stage win, but also usurp Ayuso at the top of the general classification.
With four stages of racing in the legs, nothing can separate Roglic and Ayuso time-wise. As such, the race jury needed to use countback to find out who would end the day in the overall lead and as it turns out, that man was Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe leader Roglic. Behind those two, the fight for the podium is also incredibly tight. Just one second separates Enric Mas in 3rd with Mikel Landa in 4th. Lenny Martinez is then a further six seconds down, on the same time as Lennert van Eetvelt.
Completing the top-10 of the GC are Matthew Riccitello (+45), Harold Martin Lopez (+55), William Junior Lecerf (+58) and Laurens De Plus (+58). See the entire general classification in full down below!

- Raymond Poulidor, Alfredo Binda.... where do we stop. If you want to retitle it is Primoz Roglic the bestr rider never to win the tour in the last ten or 20 years then that might be betterslappers6631-03-2025
- Let me help you. Alfredo BindaUpHill31-03-2025
- He'll certainly last it and prob ride his own race, at the front 😁
leedorney31-03-2025 - Gaio Primus Caesar Roglus, Rome is waiting for you, Imperator :-)).
maria2024202431-03-2025 - And he probably wasn’t even at the limit ;-) Have to wonder how much Mads could catch up if he’d tune his physique to be as sharp as MVDPs’Mistermaumau31-03-2025
- Respect for giving Van Eetvelt credit there.Mistermaumau31-03-2025
- He’s already a star for me for HAVING complained about it, the recent trend having been, let them then try to take advantage by making them sign NDAs ;-)Mistermaumau31-03-2025
- Agreed, but if it was a radio thing then all the riders should have the same story and it would be easy to call anyone out. Kind of surprised this isn’t cleared up half officially afterwards, just like the Alaphilippe divorce, seems like once something spreads on the net it kind of gets accepted that everyone wants to have their own truth so no-one bothers to contest anything that’s verifiable anymore, we all just move on.Mistermaumau31-03-2025
- maybe. what makes that a LITTLE fishy is that they suddenly hit the gas and started hammering it. even mathieu, who i’ve never heard complain about ANYTHING (other than teenage girls waking him up and being spit on by belgians) was pretty hacked off about the race tactics after the split. i think he was upset for what his teammates had to do, not for the fact he ended up isolated as a result.OCexile31-03-2025
- It seems that in E3 it wasn’t legit to criticise teams that « took advantage » because there was no radio communication about the incident so they couldn’t know to slow down. Only one source so far but should be quite easy to verify.Mistermaumau31-03-2025
