The final 30km, however, would be run on flat ground with a sprint finish again likely.<\/p>\n<p>It wouldn&#8217;t take long for a breakaway to go clear after the flag dropped to start the stage. Once again, Baptiste Veistroffer (Lotto-Intermarch\u00e9) was in the move, with the Frenchman setting out to add to his points and mountain classification leads.<\/p>\n<p>He was joined, for the second day in a row, by Diego Uriarte (Equipo Kern Pharma) as well as Lotto teammate Reuben Thompson. Yago Aguirre (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Josh Burnett (Burgos-Burpellet-BH), and Mark Stewart (Modern Adventure) completed the six-man move.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"17bad895-5ccb-44fe-8c78-00f8eb831a4a\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jLuE4KGmbRs9dZwjiuTkGQ-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jLuE4KGmbRs9dZwjiuTkGQ-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jLuE4KGmbRs9dZwjiuTkGQ-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jLuE4KGmbRs9dZwjiuTkGQ-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jLuE4KGmbRs9dZwjiuTkGQ-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jLuE4KGmbRs9dZwjiuTkGQ-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The early breakaway on stage 3 of the Volta a Catalunya <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"2112a787-5971-47f6-ab0d-df66d8db5f53\">The sextet raced out to a four-minute lead as Ineos Grenadiers led the peloton behind, though their advantage slimmed to two minutes after a fast start.<\/p>\n<p>Veistroffer predictably led the way up to the Alt de la Mussara, adding 10 points to his king of the mountains tally. He&#8217;d take five more on the Coll de Capafons to take his total to 31 points, 16 clear of the new second-place rider, Burnett.<\/p>\n<p>Another push at the day&#8217;s first intermediate sprint at Cornudella de Montsant on the long descent off the Capafons saw him add three more points to his points lead. Behind, the peloton was closing in, approaching the minute mark as the riders swept into the final 100km.<\/p>\n<p>A crash at 70km to go saw several riders in the peloton hit the deck, with Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) abandoning the race as a result. Up ahead, the break continued with a minute&#8217;s lead.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"e7a245ab-dd26-49a7-9661-91d238d1737a\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Cg9KWLerxVcHASvCcoyXsD-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Cg9KWLerxVcHASvCcoyXsD-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Cg9KWLerxVcHASvCcoyXsD-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Cg9KWLerxVcHASvCcoyXsD-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Cg9KWLerxVcHASvCcoyXsD-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Cg9KWLerxVcHASvCcoyXsD-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Jay Vine abandons after crashing on stage 3 <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"6895373d-81df-442c-8e16-78a8e203b849\">Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe and Visma-Lease a Bike joined in the pacemaking at the head of the peloton on the road up the Coll Roig, while, once again, Veistroffer led the break over the top. He added a further three points to his total, ending the day with 34 to lead Burnett by 17.<\/p>\n<p>On the way down, the peloton chased at 30 seconds down, and by the time they ended the descent, 30km from the line, they had brought the breakaway back for good.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly afterwards, the peloton split in crosswinds as Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe and Visma-Lease a Bike led the way. Remco Evenepoel pushed hard and went clear in an unexpected GC move with 29km to go.<\/p>\n<p>He was joined by Jonas Vingegaard, who managed to bridge across the initial gap. Meanwhile, Jo\u00e3o Almeida (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) was among the riders caught out in the split, falling behind before eventually making it back to the chase group.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"0f7bacf8-0123-411b-9e4b-81036cf1f08f\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/DH9MuEghU9Fzx6d5JffnkV-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/DH9MuEghU9Fzx6d5JffnkV-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/DH9MuEghU9Fzx6d5JffnkV-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/DH9MuEghU9Fzx6d5JffnkV-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/DH9MuEghU9Fzx6d5JffnkV-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/DH9MuEghU9Fzx6d5JffnkV-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Remco Evenepoel and Jonas Vingegaard attack in crosswind section on stage 3 <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"a5c6a22c-f7e5-4f76-88f2-2fa6548bb088\">At 20km to go, the leading duo held a 23-second lead, while behind, a reconvened peloton continued its pursuit. Evenepoel led Vingegaard over the intermediate sprint at Reus, 15km from the line, as the pair grabbed three and two bonus seconds respectively.<\/p>\n<p>A mixture of teams were contributing to the chase, but at 10km to run, Evenepoel and Vingegaard still held a 17-second advantage. By that point, the Dane had long stopped collaborating at the front, having briefly done so before following protestations from Evenepoel.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Evenepoel continued to power on at the front with Vingegaard on his wheel and an ever-diminishing gap. They managed to lead the way into the final kilometre of the day, but they wouldn&#8217;t last much longer.<\/p>\n<p>As they approached the final roundabout ahead of the finishing straight, Evenepoel went down, ending his chances of victory. Vingegaard slowed in response, apparently not wanting to win thanks to his rival&#8217;s crash. His gesture left Godon to lead home the peloton and win once more.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-results\"><span>Results<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"b01e92d4-420e-4f0d-909f-72cbeefe179c\"><strong>Results powered by <\/strong><strong>FirstCycling<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"slice-container-authorBio-3jkaA84Mp6cJC4wLnM96BG\" class=\"slice-container slice-author-bio authorBio-3jkaA84Mp6cJC4wLnM96BG slice-container-authorBio\">\n<div class=\"author author__default-layout author--separator author--collapsible\" data-hydrate=\"true\">\n<div class=\"author__header\">\n<div class=\"author__avatar-block\">\n<figure class=\"image-wrapped__wrapper\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"false\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__widthsetter\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__aspect-padding\">\n<div><source class=\"author__avatar image-wrapped__image image__image\" type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/PSRUchRz7RcBeXHn7hDvCh-140-80.jpg.webp 140w\" sizes=\"99vw\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/PSRUchRz7RcBeXHn7hDvCh.jpg\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/PSRUchRz7RcBeXHn7hDvCh.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/PSRUchRz7RcBeXHn7hDvCh.jpg\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-slice-image=\"true\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__heading\">\n<div class=\"author__name\">Dani Ostanek<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__social\">\n<nav class=\"button-social-group author__social-buttons\" aria-labelledby=\"button-social-group- author__social-buttons\">\n<div id=\"button-social-group- author__social-buttons\">Social Links Navigation<\/div>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__role\">Senior News Writer<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__bio-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"author__biography\">\n<p>Dani Ostanek is Senior News Writer at Cyclingnews, having joined in 2017 as a freelance contributor, later being hired full-time.

Evenepoel had attacked following the final descent of the day with 29km to go, taking Vingegaard with him.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8818ea91-0fe6-4b78-9b9f-a9a11d6ef61c-2\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Evenepoel pushed on at the front, with the pair enjoying a lead of 30 seconds at one point, but he enjoyed little collaboration from Vingegaard, getting visibly annoyed with his companion at several points during the run-in.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"article-continues-below block py-2 text-sm\">Article continues below <\/span><\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pb-0 pt-2 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[''] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[''] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 !text-base uppercase sm:text-sm font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/6hc6udSs2xkEjwHjJm4jUk-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/6hc6udSs2xkEjwHjJm4jUk-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"\n                            w-full font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2 text-base font-medium\">Volta a Catalunya: Dorian Godon denies Remco Evenepoel in punchy finish on stage 1<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/L9RxEPgv6xucNaWLGRoznE-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/L9RxEPgv6xucNaWLGRoznE-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"\n                            w-full font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2 text-base font-medium\">As it happened: Late crash hands win to the sprinters on stage 3 of Volta a Catalunya 2026<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/9c48eLUzgdhqYWs5eVBKvF-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/9c48eLUzgdhqYWs5eVBKvF-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"\n                            w-full font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2 text-base font-medium\">As it happened: French champion holds off Olympic champion to take stage 1 at Volta a Catalunya 2026<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">The pair held a 17-second advantage as they raced into the final 10km and still lay several seconds up the road heading under the flamme rouge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">They looked to have just about held off the peloton to contest the finish among themselves.

The final 30km, however, would be run on flat ground with a sprint finish again likely.<\/p>\n<p>It wouldn&#8217;t take long for a breakaway to go clear after the flag dropped to start the stage. Once again, Baptiste Veistroffer (Lotto-Intermarch\u00e9) was in the move, with the Frenchman setting out to add to his points and mountain classification leads.<\/p>\n<p>He was joined, for the second day in a row, by Diego Uriarte (Equipo Kern Pharma) as well as Lotto teammate Reuben Thompson. Yago Aguirre (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Josh Burnett (Burgos-Burpellet-BH), and Mark Stewart (Modern Adventure) completed the six-man move.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"17bad895-5ccb-44fe-8c78-00f8eb831a4a\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jLuE4KGmbRs9dZwjiuTkGQ-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jLuE4KGmbRs9dZwjiuTkGQ-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jLuE4KGmbRs9dZwjiuTkGQ-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jLuE4KGmbRs9dZwjiuTkGQ-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jLuE4KGmbRs9dZwjiuTkGQ-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jLuE4KGmbRs9dZwjiuTkGQ-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The early breakaway on stage 3 of the Volta a Catalunya <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"2112a787-5971-47f6-ab0d-df66d8db5f53\">The sextet raced out to a four-minute lead as Ineos Grenadiers led the peloton behind, though their advantage slimmed to two minutes after a fast start.<\/p>\n<p>Veistroffer predictably led the way up to the Alt de la Mussara, adding 10 points to his king of the mountains tally. He&#8217;d take five more on the Coll de Capafons to take his total to 31 points, 16 clear of the new second-place rider, Burnett.<\/p>\n<p>Another push at the day&#8217;s first intermediate sprint at Cornudella de Montsant on the long descent off the Capafons saw him add three more points to his points lead. Behind, the peloton was closing in, approaching the minute mark as the riders swept into the final 100km.<\/p>\n<p>A crash at 70km to go saw several riders in the peloton hit the deck, with Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) abandoning the race as a result. Up ahead, the break continued with a minute&#8217;s lead.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"e7a245ab-dd26-49a7-9661-91d238d1737a\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Cg9KWLerxVcHASvCcoyXsD-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Cg9KWLerxVcHASvCcoyXsD-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Cg9KWLerxVcHASvCcoyXsD-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Cg9KWLerxVcHASvCcoyXsD-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Cg9KWLerxVcHASvCcoyXsD-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Cg9KWLerxVcHASvCcoyXsD-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Jay Vine abandons after crashing on stage 3 <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"6895373d-81df-442c-8e16-78a8e203b849\">Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe and Visma-Lease a Bike joined in the pacemaking at the head of the peloton on the road up the Coll Roig, while, once again, Veistroffer led the break over the top. He added a further three points to his total, ending the day with 34 to lead Burnett by 17.<\/p>\n<p>On the way down, the peloton chased at 30 seconds down, and by the time they ended the descent, 30km from the line, they had brought the breakaway back for good.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly afterwards, the peloton split in crosswinds as Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe and Visma-Lease a Bike led the way. Remco Evenepoel pushed hard and went clear in an unexpected GC move with 29km to go.<\/p>\n<p>He was joined by Jonas Vingegaard, who managed to bridge across the initial gap. Meanwhile, Jo\u00e3o Almeida (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) was among the riders caught out in the split, falling behind before eventually making it back to the chase group.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"0f7bacf8-0123-411b-9e4b-81036cf1f08f\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/DH9MuEghU9Fzx6d5JffnkV-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/DH9MuEghU9Fzx6d5JffnkV-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/DH9MuEghU9Fzx6d5JffnkV-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/DH9MuEghU9Fzx6d5JffnkV-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/DH9MuEghU9Fzx6d5JffnkV-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/DH9MuEghU9Fzx6d5JffnkV-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Remco Evenepoel and Jonas Vingegaard attack in crosswind section on stage 3 <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"a5c6a22c-f7e5-4f76-88f2-2fa6548bb088\">At 20km to go, the leading duo held a 23-second lead, while behind, a reconvened peloton continued its pursuit. Evenepoel led Vingegaard over the intermediate sprint at Reus, 15km from the line, as the pair grabbed three and two bonus seconds respectively.<\/p>\n<p>A mixture of teams were contributing to the chase, but at 10km to run, Evenepoel and Vingegaard still held a 17-second advantage. By that point, the Dane had long stopped collaborating at the front, having briefly done so before following protestations from Evenepoel.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Evenepoel continued to power on at the front with Vingegaard on his wheel and an ever-diminishing gap. They managed to lead the way into the final kilometre of the day, but they wouldn&#8217;t last much longer.<\/p>\n<p>As they approached the final roundabout ahead of the finishing straight, Evenepoel went down, ending his chances of victory. Vingegaard slowed in response, apparently not wanting to win thanks to his rival&#8217;s crash. His gesture left Godon to lead home the peloton and win once more.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-results\"><span>Results<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"b01e92d4-420e-4f0d-909f-72cbeefe179c\"><strong>Results powered by <\/strong><strong>FirstCycling<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"slice-container-authorBio-3jkaA84Mp6cJC4wLnM96BG\" class=\"slice-container slice-author-bio authorBio-3jkaA84Mp6cJC4wLnM96BG slice-container-authorBio\">\n<div class=\"author author__default-layout author--separator author--collapsible\" data-hydrate=\"true\">\n<div class=\"author__header\">\n<div class=\"author__avatar-block\">\n<figure class=\"image-wrapped__wrapper\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"false\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__widthsetter\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__aspect-padding\">\n<div><source class=\"author__avatar image-wrapped__image image__image\" type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/PSRUchRz7RcBeXHn7hDvCh-140-80.jpg.webp 140w\" sizes=\"99vw\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/PSRUchRz7RcBeXHn7hDvCh.jpg\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/PSRUchRz7RcBeXHn7hDvCh.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/PSRUchRz7RcBeXHn7hDvCh.jpg\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-slice-image=\"true\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__heading\">\n<div class=\"author__name\">Dani Ostanek<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__social\">\n<nav class=\"button-social-group author__social-buttons\" aria-labelledby=\"button-social-group- author__social-buttons\">\n<div id=\"button-social-group- author__social-buttons\">Social Links Navigation<\/div>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__role\">Senior News Writer<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__bio-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"author__biography\">\n<p>Dani Ostanek is Senior News Writer at Cyclingnews, having joined in 2017 as a freelance contributor, later being hired full-time.

The final 30km, however, would be run on flat ground with a sprint finish again likely.<\/p>\n<p>It wouldn&#8217;t take long for a breakaway to go clear after the flag dropped to start the stage. Once again, Baptiste Veistroffer (Lotto-Intermarch\u00e9) was in the move, with the Frenchman setting out to add to his points and mountain classification leads.<\/p>\n<p>He was joined, for the second day in a row, by Diego Uriarte (Equipo Kern Pharma) as well as Lotto teammate Reuben Thompson. Yago Aguirre (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Josh Burnett (Burgos-Burpellet-BH), and Mark Stewart (Modern Adventure) completed the six-man move.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"17bad895-5ccb-44fe-8c78-00f8eb831a4a\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jLuE4KGmbRs9dZwjiuTkGQ-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jLuE4KGmbRs9dZwjiuTkGQ-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jLuE4KGmbRs9dZwjiuTkGQ-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jLuE4KGmbRs9dZwjiuTkGQ-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jLuE4KGmbRs9dZwjiuTkGQ-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jLuE4KGmbRs9dZwjiuTkGQ-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The early breakaway on stage 3 of the Volta a Catalunya <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"2112a787-5971-47f6-ab0d-df66d8db5f53\">The sextet raced out to a four-minute lead as Ineos Grenadiers led the peloton behind, though their advantage slimmed to two minutes after a fast start.<\/p>\n<p>Veistroffer predictably led the way up to the Alt de la Mussara, adding 10 points to his king of the mountains tally. He&#8217;d take five more on the Coll de Capafons to take his total to 31 points, 16 clear of the new second-place rider, Burnett.<\/p>\n<p>Another push at the day&#8217;s first intermediate sprint at Cornudella de Montsant on the long descent off the Capafons saw him add three more points to his points lead. Behind, the peloton was closing in, approaching the minute mark as the riders swept into the final 100km.<\/p>\n<p>A crash at 70km to go saw several riders in the peloton hit the deck, with Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) abandoning the race as a result.

He added a further three points to his total, ending the day with 34 to lead Burnett by 17.<\/p>\n<p>On the way down, the peloton chased at 30 seconds down, and by the time they ended the descent, 30km from the line, they had brought the breakaway back for good.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly afterwards, the peloton split in crosswinds as Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe and Visma-Lease a Bike led the way. Remco Evenepoel pushed hard and went clear in an unexpected GC move with 29km to go.<\/p>\n<p>He was joined by Jonas Vingegaard, who managed to bridge across the initial gap.

Evenepoel led Vingegaard over the intermediate sprint at Reus, 15km from the line, as the pair grabbed three and two bonus seconds respectively.<\/p>\n<p>A mixture of teams were contributing to the chase, but at 10km to run, Evenepoel and Vingegaard still held a 17-second advantage. By that point, the Dane had long stopped collaborating at the front, having briefly done so before following protestations from Evenepoel.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Evenepoel continued to power on at the front with Vingegaard on his wheel and an ever-diminishing gap. They managed to lead the way into the final kilometre of the day, but they wouldn&#8217;t last much longer.<\/p>\n<p>As they approached the final roundabout ahead of the finishing straight, Evenepoel went down, ending his chances of victory.
