and Vingegaard went with him.<\/p>\n<p id=\"b614ed8b-f306-462d-8764-586ec6d7a01c-2\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">With a lead that never rose above 30 seconds, the two-up break seemed doomed to be extinguished at any point by an Ineos Grenadiers and UAE Team Emirates-led peloton. But through sheer stubbornness and strength, Evenepoel nonetheless managed to keep the flame alive, with some limited support from the Dane.<\/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\/RXNXqgKiQwEu5j9oeAyBkd-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/RXNXqgKiQwEu5j9oeAyBkd-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\">Remco Evenepoel crashes at the end of a spectacular final breakaway with Jonas Vingegaard in Volta a Catalunya<\/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\/e3TvdvhrUcj7zx8VMjKkkN-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/e3TvdvhrUcj7zx8VMjKkkN-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\">&#8216;It stopped me yesterday, but not for the week&#8217; \u2013 Remco Evenepoel fights on at Volta a Catalunya following stage 3 crash<\/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\/JDQykLoA3wDFb2xWRGQf6D-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/JDQykLoA3wDFb2xWRGQf6D-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 wins dramatic stage 3 finish as Remco Evenepoel crashes in closing kilometre<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">However, having turned a seemingly inoffensive transition stage into one of the most nailbiting of recent history in the Volta, suddenly as they rode into the finish town of Vila-Seca Evenepoel clipped the edge of a roundabout &#8211; and went flying.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Asked what happened afterwards, Vingegaard said simply to <em>Eurosport<\/em>, &#8220;To be honest, I don&#8217;t know.

Just as echelons were forming, Evenepoel decided to go on the attack.

and Vingegaard went with him.<\/p>\n<p id=\"b614ed8b-f306-462d-8764-586ec6d7a01c-2\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">With a lead that never rose above 30 seconds, the two-up break seemed doomed to be extinguished at any point by an Ineos Grenadiers and UAE Team Emirates-led peloton. But through sheer stubbornness and strength, Evenepoel nonetheless managed to keep the flame alive, with some limited support from the Dane.<\/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\/RXNXqgKiQwEu5j9oeAyBkd-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/RXNXqgKiQwEu5j9oeAyBkd-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\">Remco Evenepoel crashes at the end of a spectacular final breakaway with Jonas Vingegaard in Volta a Catalunya<\/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\/e3TvdvhrUcj7zx8VMjKkkN-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/e3TvdvhrUcj7zx8VMjKkkN-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\">&#8216;It stopped me yesterday, but not for the week&#8217; \u2013 Remco Evenepoel fights on at Volta a Catalunya following stage 3 crash<\/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\/JDQykLoA3wDFb2xWRGQf6D-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/JDQykLoA3wDFb2xWRGQf6D-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 wins dramatic stage 3 finish as Remco Evenepoel crashes in closing kilometre<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">However, having turned a seemingly inoffensive transition stage into one of the most nailbiting of recent history in the Volta, suddenly as they rode into the finish town of Vila-Seca Evenepoel clipped the edge of a roundabout &#8211; and went flying.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Asked what happened afterwards, Vingegaard said simply to <em>Eurosport<\/em>, &#8220;To be honest, I don&#8217;t know.

Just as echelons were forming, Evenepoel decided to go on the attack.

and Vingegaard went with him.<\/p>\n<p id=\"b614ed8b-f306-462d-8764-586ec6d7a01c-2\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">With a lead that never rose above 30 seconds, the two-up break seemed doomed to be extinguished at any point by an Ineos Grenadiers and UAE Team Emirates-led peloton. But through sheer stubbornness and strength, Evenepoel nonetheless managed to keep the flame alive, with some limited support from the Dane.<\/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\/RXNXqgKiQwEu5j9oeAyBkd-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/RXNXqgKiQwEu5j9oeAyBkd-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\">Remco Evenepoel crashes at the end of a spectacular final breakaway with Jonas Vingegaard in Volta a Catalunya<\/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\/e3TvdvhrUcj7zx8VMjKkkN-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/e3TvdvhrUcj7zx8VMjKkkN-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\">&#8216;It stopped me yesterday, but not for the week&#8217; \u2013 Remco Evenepoel fights on at Volta a Catalunya following stage 3 crash<\/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\/JDQykLoA3wDFb2xWRGQf6D-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/JDQykLoA3wDFb2xWRGQf6D-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 wins dramatic stage 3 finish as Remco Evenepoel crashes in closing kilometre<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">However, having turned a seemingly inoffensive transition stage into one of the most nailbiting of recent history in the Volta, suddenly as they rode into the finish town of Vila-Seca Evenepoel clipped the edge of a roundabout &#8211; and went flying.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Asked what happened afterwards, Vingegaard said simply to <em>Eurosport<\/em>, &#8220;To be honest, I don&#8217;t know.

Just as echelons were forming, Evenepoel decided to go on the attack.
