With high winds leading to the shortening of stage 4 at the Volta a Catalunya, what was initially planned to be a GC day instead came down to a sprint. Ethan Vernon proved fastest in Camprodón, taking his and NSN's second WorldTour win of the season.
Race leader Dorian Godon settled for second on the day with Tom Pidcock delivering a solid sprint to nab third, earning bonus seconds that moved him into second overall ahead of Remco Evenepoel. Friday's stage 5 should see the GC contenders battling in earnest as the race tackles several hard climbs in the Pyrenees.
