Very early on stage 2 of the 2024
Volta a Catalunya, news came through that
Tadej Pogacar was on the attack, riding clear of the peloton alongside teammate,
Domen Novak. Post-stage, the Slovenian explained in more detail what transpired.
“No one started attacking. Israel - Premier Tech told us they didn't want to do any work, so we decided to do the work. We came from behind, but no one came with us. Then we suddenly had an opening and decided to continue," recalled the
UAE Team Emirates leader, who eventually won the stage in emphatic style, in his post-stage interview.
