Volta a Catalunya, 23-29 March 2026

[Devil's Elbow]

I have never needed a random person on the side of the road filming the race as much as I have needed it now.

[AmRacer]

So, Remco was trying his new wings

 

[Didinho]

That replay of Remco walking and the peloton getting around on both sides.

 

[kingjr]

This is the most Remco thing that has ever happened.

If cycling was a TV show we'd be talking about Flanderization right about now.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Toon Aerts 4th, really kickstarting his road career finally after being around for like 20 years, thought it was Kockelmann tbh

 

[Sciatic]

Speculating that it was Vingegaards fault based on nothing is not trying to figure out what happened.

I have fun with all conspiracy theories. If you claim the earth is flat I have jokes about that as well.

I know that happens on here, but in this case it seems like you're jumping to conclusions based on a bias and we're jumping to conclusions from looking at a fuzzy image. Now you also add the sarcastic "earth is flat" bit and its hard to see how you're contributing to the discussion. Couldn't you just say "I don't see Vingo contributing to the crash" without looking to make fun of others?

 

[topcat]

He didn’t make it to the roundabout.

I'll have to watch a replay. Hols on, there isn't one. I don't blame Vingo, I blame the roundabout or the impending roundabout.

 

[Netserk]

im afraid that if he took himself out then this is the return of bambi

 

[Didinho]

Would’ve loved to see the 1 vs 1 sprint though. His effort deserved at least a chance to win. Normally Vingo would’ve taken it.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Who plays Stalin role? Teddy?

 

[Extinction]

Like Joop Zoetemelk past?

Like Joop Zoetemelk past?

Not as smart.

 

[HashRouge]

I know we've all been critical about motos influencing races, but the Volta a Cataluña organisers have taken it way too far in the other direction. Not a single moto anywhere near Remco when he crashed??? How is that possible?!!

I was uaware this forum had developed into a journalistic exercise. I uses to just banter about cycling on here.

I better skedaddle again since I am letting the team down.

 

[Sciatic]

Surely, they should give Remco the most combative award?

 

[Boehmand]

Evenepoel has no tactical sense

They were 4 RB, 4 Visma and 2 Lidl in the front split, and then the bonehead wanted to go it alone, instead of eliminating Almerida from the GC.

Vingegaard naturally followed and refused to work (mostly), and with good reason.

Vingegaard apparently sat up when Evenepoel crashed, because he didn't think it was the "right way" to win - and implies he would have sprinted against Evenepoel, which would undoubetly have made him a lot of enemies

 

[Extinction]

That Remco saw the time to go on the flat reminder me of Lemond attacking in the 86 Tour on the flat, but it was a different era. And Lemond was caught. But it was three weeks so time to recover.

a lot of enemies being who exactly?

When someone tries to tell me why I'm saying something (and suggesting ill intent) then I usually do reply. In this case looking at the replay, my first thought was a touch of wheels-- because I have, and you probably have, been in a crash in that scenario and its remarkable how at least one of the riders goes straight to the ground. From out 30,000 ft view that was my first impression. Others posters were giving their initial impressions.

will Evenepoel get s.t. as the bunch, or this the first example of the Roglic-rule?

Win win situation, but Evenepoel made it interesting.

 

[Salvarani]

What time does Remco get?

Does it count if it's self harm?

 

[Brullnux]

What time does Remco get?

Times taken at 1km to go because of the crash, so -10 on the peloton

 

[TourOfSardinia]

will Evenepoel get s.t. as the bunch, or this the first example of the Roglic-rule?

Same time as Vingo - who he was with when he went down - so same time as the bunch?

106

Evenepoel Remco

Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe
