Race report
After 10 kilometres, Mats Wenzel launches an attack, and Geoffrey Bouchard joins him. Edward Planckaert also bridgess across, but the peloton keeps chasing and the trio is caught.

Wenzel goes again, this time with Bruno Armirail, Lorenzo Germani, and Alex Molenaar. That move pays off, and the four establish a 6-minute lead.

As the gap falls below 2 minutes on the Coll de Creueta, Armirail heads out alone to extend the lead back to over 3 minutes.

On the final climb, the Frenchman is caught with 9 kilometres remaining. Sepp Kuss attempts to take over the attack, accompanied by Ben O’Connor, but they are soon reeled in.

Marc Soler gives it a go in the final 6 kilometres, with Lorenzo Fortunato and George Bennett on his wheel. While Bennett is dropped, Kuss takes his place. The three open up a 15-second gap, but are caught inside the last 530 metres.

​At 200 metres from the finish line, Primoz Roglic accelerates with Juan Ayuso closely following his move. The Spaniard takes the inside line, gaining a slight advantage, but Roglic draws level with a final surge. It’s a photo finish, with the Ayuso taking the win by mere millimetres. As a result, he is the new leader in the Volta a Catalunya.
