Volta a Catalunya: João Almeida takes over overall classification as Ethan Vernon wins stage five

Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team have taken another win, as Ethan Vernon won the final bunch sprint of today's stage of the Volta a Catalunya. It was a chaotic finale today, with bonifications on hand seeing Almeida jump up the GC, and several attacks in the finale.
The breakaway had a tough day with strong winds and long distances on the menu. Joel Nicolau (Caja Rural - Seguros RGA), Gotzon Martín (Euskaltel - Euskadi) and Urko Berrade (Equipo Kern Pharma) took to the front and lead most of the stage. Their gap reached a maximum of five minutes, but the trio was easily reeled in with 20 kilometers to go.
There was a battle for the intermediate sprint, as the overall classification is being discussed between mere seconds. João Almeida took one second in the sprint and has taken over the lead of the race, with Tobias Johannessen taking maximum time with 3 seconds, both riders climbing up with the time gained.
With the lack of a team capable of controlling the race, the final kilometers were chaotic as they featured a few gradients, with the GC riders, Richard Carapaz being one of them, active on the attack.
The attacks kept coming all the way to the line, with Arkéa managing to get some order in the final meters. It was a chaotic sprint with Guillaume Boivin launching an early move, but Ethan Vernon came along and took his first pro win in front of Phil Bauhaus and Dorian Godon.
Vernon pushed a rider in the final kilometer, and it is yet unclear if he will be given the official win.

- Rules are very different from country to country and evolve with time. At one point I couldn’t even give my son my nationality because being unmarried, you’d have to register at least 3 months before the birth, a time when many people know neither the name or sex, and actually, no-one even knows if the birth will take place. In England there is now a kid with the wrong sex on his birth certificate as mistakes (even if by an administration) can no longer be corrected. I just had a 3rd child, we discovered a bump on his head at 2 weeks that wasn’t there 24h before, we ended up at the police accused of child abuse and about to have him taken from us due to staff incompetence and inexperience. Luckily a pediatric neurosurgeon has now confirmed this is not so uncommon after natural childbirth without instruments but most medical employees aren’t informed of it so automatically accuse parents of negligence/lying whatever. We discovered an association that already helped over 1000 wrongly accused couples (just those who found the association in just one country). I almost got arrested in one country for forgery after trying to convert my driver’s license as they thought I must have tampered the dates to get it aged 17 which isn’t possible for them. I can’t access half official services because the online forms are not set up to accept foreign phone number as data but a number is obligatory. That’s just a quick start, anyone who’s ever had to move internationally will confirm, there’s very little that’s not done differently elsewhere than “at home” The world is full of bureaucratic shit destroying society.Mistermaumau23-11-2024

- you was so exhausted, ok, then why to ride third-class races immediately after the Tour? do a mix of rest, relax and soft-medium training in your family environment and after the birth of your baby, a month of full, intense training for the world championship! prestigious and suitable race for you (even MAS did well). Sometimes I don't understand Jonas's calendar.
maria2024202423-11-2024 - it’s just a brutal sport, and if you don’t believe in yourself — especially when you’re young — then what’s the point. i get it. that said, the voice of ultra competitive Mads Pedersen after last year’s Roubaix does echo in one’s ears. “mathieu was LEAGUES better than the rest of us… Yeah, i’d like to BELIEVE i could win this race one day, but after what mathieu just did i think that might be difficult…” and that’s MADS PEDERSEN. still, what can pithie do BUT believe?OCexile23-11-2024
