The first mountain stage of the Volta a Catalunya saw little differences in the general classification however the win fell to Ben O'Connor, who attacked early on in the final ascent to gather his first win of the season and the race lead.
Simone Pettili (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux), Mikel Bizkarra (Euskaltel - Euskadi), Casper Pedersen (Team DSM) and Ander Okamika (Burgos-BH). The group's gap grew to 8 minutes at it's maximum, however the peloton led by Movistar Team and BORA - hangrohe controlled the peloton.
The peloton reeled in the break however in the entrance of the final climb, where the lack of tough gradients saw the lack of real differences created. It was a stage for the opportunities, Ben O'Connor attacked with 8.5 kilometers to go and the first serious attack proved the most successful as there was no proper order in the peloton. O'Connor kept his gap stable at around 20 seconds. Marc Soler attacked in the peloton but didn't have the legs to bring the Australian back, and with the peloton still far, O'Connor managed to bring in the win.
The peloton came to the line shortly six seconds after lead by Juan Ayuso and Nairo Quintana. O'Connor is also the new leader of the race now, heading into the queen stage.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
