Evenepoel wins stage 3
Remco Evenepoel (SOQ) outshone Primož Roglič (TJV) on stage 3 of the Volta a Catalunya, setting up what promises to be a massive battle between the two riders in the coming days of the Catalan race. Giulio Ciccone (TFS) finished third after being the only climber to stay with the duo after Evenepoel's decisive attacks in the final kilometres. Roglic and Evenepoel are now tied on time in the overall competition, with Roglic still in the leaders jersey.
“I felt better and I had a lot of confidence in my team that they could do the job they did,” Evenepoel said to reporters after the stage. “The climb before La Molina was a long one and a tough one, and we wanted to make it as hard as possible from that climb on, and it paid off. It’s a pity I’m in the best young rider’s jersey because I would like to have had a picture in my rainbow jersey. Maybe in the next race. I showed already in the first days I’m quite fast, on the first day I made a mistake because I was too far back when I started the sprint. But now we have seen today that I’m fast here, as well.”
