Volta a Catalunya, 23-29 March 2026

[Tim Cahill]

Posted in the wrong thread then, here are the rules

 

[Red Rick]

Vingegaard did not win solo because he didn't want to give Evenepoel those seconds over his other rivals.

Absolutely diabolical

 

[Netserk]

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

i think its the new rogla rule here , yeah

stupid rule change , he obviously wouldnt go down like that if he was on his own

 

[James M]

Vingegaard should honor his class and work with Evenepoel.

Seems like it was a good stage to bad I didnt watch hence why im asking. Was Jonas not helping when they was alone?

some of the time he helped

but not at first and not in the end

 

[Netserk]

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

3″

*0:00

has it been confirmed that it was because of a mechanical ?

if not , he will lose time

 

[Kazistuta]

So Remco just told reporters that he was about to change grip on his handle bars when he hit an unmarked pothole, lost his grip and crashed. Seemed in good spirits never the less. Good to hear, freak accident.

 

[Red Rick]

Wait so he should lose all the time in GC?

Evenepoel will have a fake mechanical, as is tradition

rogla rule then

bye bye gc

This guy must have a few nonowatts per neuron.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Could be a meltdown coming if he loses GC because of Roglic falling off on that descent a couple of years back, he was raging about that enough as it was.

sounds like poor bike handling

 

[theyoungest]

rogla rule then

Only fair.

 

[Red Rick]

But it's not Rogla, so rules don't apply.

We'll see in the coming days who is riding to win, and who is riding to protect their ego

 

[Extinction]

Yes, because it was "logical" that he didn't. But I hate logic in such circumstances. But I'm thinking of the Hinault era.

Jonas = the Spock of cyclismo.

 

[Low is rhe new high]

Remco is a genius , so much more fun to follow than booring Pogi. A true antihero to the boy scout no one could ever had predicted this.

 

[Kazistuta]

It looks cowardly, I agree on that. But it also shows who uses their brain when they race. It made no sense to use so much effort for a marginal gain the day before the real struggles begin. Jonas is smart, Remco is bold and eager.

I doubt he knows the rules.

You misspelled foolhardy.

it was also applied in itzulia towards eibar last year i think

 

[Tim Cahill]

It's not a question of cowardice or bravery, cycling is a game not a morality play, there is no ethical obligation to pull in any circumstance, especially when the main beneficiary is your opponent.
