And TV2 Play needed to load just as the finale was happening...

 

[Salvarani]

Higuita wins overall! Well-deserved and looked very good today too.

UAE 200IQ team

 

[Faserr]

Higuita was the strongest. Nice win for him.
UAE are not really working together.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

This is such a bad finish with the downhill onto the final stretch.

 

[Netserk]

Ayuso 4th, no bonus seconds for him.

Ahahahahhajaa Uae

A lot of great talents with great ambition. They want to win and prove themselves. Pushing each other. As long they have good team spirit, then the lack of experience and mistakes from some riders can be a learning process.

A negative outcome could of course be that they start to dislike each other... but then a few of them will likely leave. We will see I guess.

What do bonus seconds matter here? Difference between 5th and 5th on GC.

 

[noob]

Happy winning tiny kid. Definitely deserved. I find myself smiling with him.

Such a nice race despite all weird things happening.

Didn't have the time gaps ready, a bit stupid post, agreed.

 

[Tim Cahill]

There were questions about what Bora did with the Gareth Bale money but it seems to have worked out for them so far.

That's fair enough, I had to check too

Tobias looked like he was the strongest rider of the day. Uno-X first stage race on WT level. Every reason to be proud of their performance.

Tobias looked super strong yes. But to be fair I think Higuita looked stronger. He just didn’t attack because he was the leader.

Apparently Bagioli thought someone was aheah. Didn't know he had won the race.

He is used to being behind Masnada, can't blame him.

It's nice to see a teammate and friend of Fausto take the victory. Fausto is there in spirit with him!

Who is this Fausto you are always talking about? Has he raced in 2022 already?

A climber for QST who has dropped out of Catalunya already and not really any notable results in his career other than a Giro win and 2nd at Lombardia in bad tactics. Overhyped too much on this forum by a certain member.

He's a guy who made some sort of deal with the devil Ilmaestro99.

Happy for Higuita to win this. He was always so close or with bad luck and crashes. Much deserved!

Truly happy for Higuita's success in Catalunya, confirming his decision to change teams was correct and perhaps it is the foundation for more success coming his way.
Bravo!!!

Did @Bavarianrider ever praise all the highways they race on in Spain? Is the tarmac good?

It is certainly good in some areas of Spain. However, certainly not on California level.
