It was a dominant week for Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and he won his fourth stage on Sunday and secured the GC title at Volta a Catalunya. The Slovenian won the stage 7 sprint ahead of Dorian Godon (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) and Guillaume Martin (Cofidis). In the overall, Mikel Landa (Soudal-QuickStep) finished 3:41 back for second and Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers) rounded out the podium at 5:03 down.

Stage 6: Tadej Pogacar's 30km solo seals stage 6 win on momentous mountain day / As it happened

Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) extended his general classification lead on Saturday with a solo victory on stage 6. The duo of Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers) and Mikel Landa (Soudal-QuickStep) battled on the final of five major climbs to finish 57 seconds back, Bernal using his second place to move into third overall and Landa losing time in second overall.

The first sprinter's stage went to the script, with a three-man breakaway off the front for most of the stage before the fast men's teams chased them down, controlled the late attacks, and fought for position ahead of the finish. Marijn van den Berg (EF Education-EasyPost) took the win.

Stage 3: Tadej Pogačar does it again / As it happened

Tadej Pogačar made his second consecutive mountaintop victory at the Volta a Catalunya look easy as the UAE Team Emirates rider crossed the line solo with the stage 3 win at the summit finish at Port Ainé. He finished 48 seconds ahead of Mikel Landa (Soudal-QuickStep) and 1:03 ahead of Antonio Tiberi (Bahrain-Victorious). Pogačar now has a commanding 2:27 lead in the overall classification with four stages to go.

As many anticipated, Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) dominated on the mountaintop finish at Vallter 2000, winning stage 2 and taking the overall lead at the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya. Pogačar now leads the overall classification by 1:35 over Mikel Landa (Soudal-QuickStep) and an additional three seconds over Aleksandr Vlasov (Bora-Hansgrohe).

Nick Schultz (Israel-Premier Tech) won the opening stage of the Volta a Catalunya after a late attack inside the final kilometre in Sant Feliu de Guíxols. The Australian struck out with a surprise attack 500 metres from the line at the end of the 174km opener to hold off a late-charging Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) on the uphill finish.
