Apparently Vallter is cancelled tomorrow due to too strong winds.
Stage will end in Camprodon at the foot of the climb.

yes, stage shortened:
"The Volta a Catalunya has altered the route of its 4th stage, which will finish in Camprodon
Due to the activation of a Level 3 VENCAT warning, with wind gusts of up to 90 km/h forecast at the summit of Vallter, the Volta a Catalunya has been forced to shorten the route of its 4th stage, scheduled for Thursday 26 March.
The stage, starting from Mataró, will finish in the town of Camprodon, shortening the final climb to the resort. With this change, the stage start time is delayed by half an hour to 13:05, with the team presentation in Mataró taking place between 11:55 and 12:55."
From the stage comuniqué, which also officially confirms Evenepoel's classification at s.t., by the way.

why wouldn't remco get the same time. He gets the time of Vingo as the crash was within 3 km. Very straight forward

Crashed all by himself.
The rule was literally changed because Roglic did the same, got s.t. according to the rules and twitter started crying.

Can simply finish lower on the climb rather than not at all. There's a big parking lot at like 1950m.
yep, Remco made a mistake and should not be at s.t.
A shite decision.

this should be the new finish (on from the intermediate sprint), based on that communique. They went for another road further down in town, but didn't add any major difficulties. The weather in Camprodon looks nice and sunny as well, although a bit chilly (7°C).

Clever attack by remco today anticipating the cancellation tomorrow. It's a shame Jonas is not intelligent like remcoyes, stage shortened:

Unless the goal is to have an excuse for tomorrow's failure. The fall will make that excuse even more valid.

Tbf, with such strong winds lower might be more dangerous because of f tree branches getting ripped off by the wind.

Pathetic decision to castrate tomorrow stage. Not the first time that this happens in Catalunya either, at least we have Itzulia lin a few weeks which should be a banger.
Remco never learns, he is now on his 8th pro season and keeps making the same rookie mistakes. Racing easy stages like this as it was a one day race its not a wise move. He needs a good sports psychologist to help him control his emotions during races.
Good win for Godon, he keeps delivering for Ineos. He was lucky that Vingegaard sit up at the end though.

2012 was a vintage edition also with the gcI liked the year when the breakaway won because they just decided to finish the stage at some random point in the middle of nowhere, to be honest

The ultimate extreme weather protocol merchant. He probably has a secret temple to the weather gods in his garden where he goes to pray every day.
