Remco Evenepoel outsprints Primoz Roglic to stage win at Volta a Catalunya stage 3
CyclingWednesday, 22 March 2023 at 16:53
The expected battle took place once again. Remco Evenepoel and Primoz Roglic were above the competition at the Volta a Catalunya today, but this time around Evenepoel took the stage win.
Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost), Guillaume Martin (Cofidis), Maxim van Gils (Lotto Dstny), Simone Petille (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty), Jefferson Cepeda (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA), Filippo Zana (Team Jayco AlUla) and Niklas Eg (Uno-X Pro Cycling Team) formed the day's breakaway. A threatening group whose gap reached five minutes at it's maximum.
It didn't seem early on as if there were intentions in the peloton to bring back the break, but that soon was proved wrong by Soudal - Quick-Step. With a strong mountain team present, they began pushing the pace in the penultimate climb of the day, a steady pace that saw the gap slowly fading and the peloton slowly losing riders.
The race was rather calm but draining, with the breakaway slowly being reeled in by the peloton led by the Belgian team. On the slopes of the climb to La Molina van Gils was the last rider to be caught with 8 kilometers to go. Quick-Step was setting up an attack, with Ilan van Wilder setting a strong pace that not too many could survive. Despite the shallower gradients, Remco Evenepoel proved that work had a purpose.
Evenepoel attacked with 4.2 kilometers to go. It wasn't an explosive attack but instead a long acceleration, but Primoz Roglic managed to respond. He was the only one in fact, as UAE Team Emirates took up the responsibility in the chasing group. Roglic did not collaborate with Evenepoel but the World Champion did not let the attack die down.
But this time around Evenepoel had the best legs, launching the sprint and carving a gap to Roglic. A strong and convincing win that was quite important for the Belgian. Roglic arrived second. In the chasing group Giulio Ciccone led the rest of the field to the line.

- Ok, I was actually reflecting on the consequences of these threads the last few days so I have a suggestion, if everyone/most agree we could launch a try. If we feel like pursuing a discussion launched on a texas turd related article, we move it over to an unrelated article (best would be one that would not get any attention in itself). Don’t reply, let’s just use the thumbs up function to vote for. Anyone (only the first person then) with a problem or better suggestion who wants to comment can lead us the article of their choice. Also, let’s avoid using the name or commonly used alternatives to it. Hope that helps and we can start making a small difference in 2025 :-)Mistermaumau31-12-2024
- I love that this guy constantly reminds us that he may be the only real miracle story, a heroic comeback to win 2 Tours at the start of the EPO era using only iron injections.
MarkFour31-12-2024 - Don’t agree, a fool is too stupid to make it work and the best rumours need a genius to take hold. Unfortunately the vast majority in the middle are the cause of most. What’s more worrying is that intelligence isn’t the critical factor, most rumours start for a REASON. Also, it isn’t necessarily the person who starts the rumour who is critical, it is what kind or how many persons actually take note and help propogate, here intelligence starts playing a bigger role and reasoning less because we’re all kind of sheep much of the time, just following or passing on what we see/read.Mistermaumau31-12-2024
- How about he just underestimated how well Jonas would react? TP has had the Luckury (sic) that almost no-one has tried or been in a situation to pressure him when he launched long-range attacks, so making them look easy and him invincible, we don’t consider that he is also actually riding close to his absolute limit in such moments (as several of his comments reflecting back reveal), it would only take the comeback of a Jonas or MVDP or half a dozen capable others for his state of mind to be affected, I’m pretty sure during the Tour there is also an element of not going all out just for every stage when there is the GC as a bigger picture. Also, sometimes (even he) an attack is used to feign fake strength, maybe he already felt a bit weak and pokered that an attack would discourage the others, actually maybe he got a little too confident/used to that possibility earlier in the year ;-) It’s quite hard to tell when TP is flailing, there are very preceding signs when he cracks and it happens so rarely that it’ll be hard to discover them :-)Mistermaumau31-12-2024
- Yes, although the rule (needed at the time but very simplistic and thankfully less important and improved since did bring along a lot of new problems.
