  "textContent": "NSN's Brady Gilmore took victory in the reduced bunch sprint on stage 7 of the 2026 Volta a Catalunya, closing a dramatic finale on Barcelona's dynamic Montjuïc circuit, which will next be seen on stage 2 of the Tour de France.\n\nFor much of the finale, Red Bull-Bora Hansgrohe's numerous leaders had committed themselves to an aggressive race, hurling attacks at Jonas Vingegaard and their other GC rivals. Remco Evenepoel and Florian Lipowitz successfully isolated the race leader on a few occasions, but the race leader was unfazed, and there were enough who were motivated to ensure a large group made it to the finish together.\n\nIneos Grenadiers had control of the peloton in the closing kilometres for two-time stage winner Dorian Godon, with Red Bull working for Evenepoel, but a lonely Gilmore surfed the wheels beautifully to snatch the win. Vingegaard finished safely at the back of the group to seal overall victory, with Lenny Martinez and Lipowitz joining him on the podium.\n\n[race_result id=14 stage_id=89955 count=5 gc=0 year=2026]\n\n[race_result id=14 stage_id=89955 count=5 gc=5 year=2026]",
