Throughout the Volta a Catalunya, there will likely be many riders forced to withdraw from the race, for various different reasons. We make a list of all riders who leave the race, as well as list out a few of the main crashes that take place during the race.
After Kamiel Bonneu of Intermarche - Wanty was a DNS for stage 1, two further riders left the race over the course of the opening day: Jon Agirre and Jose Luis Faura, the latter of who actually spent much of the day in the breakaway.
Tao Geoghegan Hart and Simon Clarke did not start today's stage, the Briton due to digestive issues. During the day Nolann Mahoudu of Cofidis abandoned the race. Itamar Einhorn crashed during the day.
Henri Vandenabeele was one of the riders who abandoned today; and Rainer Kepplinger of Bahrain - Victorious abandoned due to a crash. His teammates Lenny Martínez and Finlay Pickering were also involved in a fall, as did Bart Lemmen, Sylvain Moniquet and Frederik Wandahl.
