Volta a Catalunya, 23-29 March 2026

[Netserk]

Question:
Across the big GC climbs in Catalunya, who will gain time on who, Evenepoel vs Vingegaard?

Response options:

1. Vingegaard gains time on every big climb
2. Vingegaard gains time overall, but Evenepoel gains time on at least one climb
3. They break even overall (within 10 seconds either way)
4. Evenepoel gains time overall, but Vingegaard gains time on at least one climb
5. Evenepoel gains time on every big climb

none of those options

Better poll Jonas against the rest, Remco will be dropped by multiple riders.

Remco versus Chumil uphill ... now there's a race!

 

[Red Rick]

none of those options

Is this the cheeky Vingegaard doesnt attack Pradell but drops Waffles every MTF?

will hold back and finish same time one of the days

 

[ice&fire]

will hold back and finish same time one of the days

Do you think he'll race in energy conservation mode until July?

depends

some days no , some days yes

 

[Sciatic]

Those eggs again!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

So Veistroffer is back at it again, this time with a team mate and three other hopeful. They got 3mins with 70kms to go.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

The Peloton will need to make up at least a minute on the uphill until 30 k to go

The Peloton will need to make up at least a minute on the uphill until 30 k to go

This is one of these tricky stages for a peloton to catch a break if they underestimate them, BUT it's only 3 guys now and the last 30km still have a few uphill parts where a peloton can make up a lot of ground on dead breakaway guys.

Nice try from Lotto tho, don't really have anything else to do here this week.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Surprised a few more didn't go with, the bunch can only ride as fast as their sprinters can go uphill

 

[QueenStagiaire]

I doubt this is a good race for training for Sam Bennett, he‘s just killing himself to stay in the race on the coming stages.

 

[Samamba]

Why is Bennett in this race

 

[Samamba]

Veistroffer can't follow so peloton should have this under control. It's basically only Slock as the Kern Pharma barely does any work.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

This Kern pharma guy is a young carapaz in the making

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Slock attacks on the little kicker.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Quite like Veistroffer's idea of getting into every breakaway ever

What else are half the guys here going to do

 

[RedheadDane]

Lotto boys ganging up on Uriarte!



(Though, I suppose since they're teammates, they're kinda... required to do so.)

 

[Potomac]

Not a good week for Lercerf, not a good day for Steinhauser

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Steinhauser not fit, job done on the day for Lecerf, still not an easy chase

 

[Sciatic]

Not a good week for Lercerf, not a good day for Steinhauser

Is Steinhauser sick? He looks like he's struggling to hang on.

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

Slock and Veistroffer are 2 very solid baroudeurs. I'm rooting for them.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Uhlig out of the sprint

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Last little kicker for the front duo. 10 kms to go.

 

[search]

Uhlig crashed, Bennett dropped. Pickrell abandoned. The already short list of sprinters doesn't really get any longer.
