Giulio Ciccone wins stage 2 of the Volta a Catalunya
Giulio Ciccone (TFS) took stage 2 of the Volta a Catalunya ahead of Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) in a three-up sprint after breaking away with the two GC contenders on the final 15-kilometre Vallter climb.
"It was a really fast climb from the bottom of the ascent, Bahrain made a good tempo and then Chaves attacked, but in my mind, I knew I just had to follow Evenepoel and Roglic," he said to reporters after the stage. "So I followed their wheels and then I did my best in the last 500 metres. In the last couple of weeks, I've lost many times, especially with Roglič - he's won everything. But after a long climb, here we're arriving at 2000 metres of altitude and everything changes. I felt good, and I did my best."
