Tadej Pogacar has done it again! At his scintillating best, the Slovenian powered clear of all his rivals by some distance on the summit finish of stage 3 at the 2024 Volta a Catalunya, further securing his place at the top of the general classification.
After a beast of breakaway managed to get free early on including the likes of Ethan Hayter, Hugh Carthy and Juan Pedro Lopez among many others, the peloton led by UAE Team Emirates would not allow them any advantage.
As such, the breakaway didn't last very long out front, being caught with over 50km still to go on the day.
Somewhat surprisingly, the GC contenders seemed content to wait until the final climb to try and provide a shock to Tadej Pogacar although in all honesty, they were likely battling for second behind the Slovenian.
With bonus seconds on offer at the final intermediate sprint, Aleksandr Vlasov collected the three maximum 3 ahead of UAE Team Emirates duo Marc Soler and Pavel Sivakov.
As the climbing began, more riders were dropping out the back the attacking off the front with UAE helped by Soudal - Quick-Step with their pace setting.
With just over 7km to go, Mikel Landa decided to make his move. Dangerously though, the Spaniard seemed to have awoken the beast as Pogacar countered with an attack of his own, moving clear solo.
Sepp Kuss was looking a lot better than yesterday, bridging across to Landa and then beginning his attempt to reel in the runaway Slovenian.
As Pogacar sailed off into the distance however, Chris Harper actually joined the two chasers. Not wanting more company, Landa attacked again dropping Kuss and Harper and proving himself the best of the rest once again.
With Pogacar victorious, Landa came home second 48 seconds down with Antonio Tiberi winning the race for third.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
