Tadej Pogacar wins final stage to round off Volta a Catalunya dominance




Tadej Pogacar completed his mastery of this year’s Volta a Catalunya, sprinting to a fourth stage win in the seven-stage race.

The Slovenian, already in total command of the Volta going into the final stage around Barcelona, left his rivals trailing once again, giving him overall victory ahead of Mikel Landa (Soudal Quick-Step) by three minutes and 41 seconds. Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers), five minutes and three seconds down, finished third.

Dorian Godon of France came closest on the line to denying the UAE Team Emirates rider, but he had to settle for second with compatriot Guillaume Martin third.

Pogacar’s dominance was such that, along with topping the general classification, he also secured the points and mountains jerseys too.
