In a dramatic stage at the Volta Catalunya, Quinn Simmons of Lidl-Trek achieved his first World Tour victory after just a half hour of racing, which was drastically altered due to high winds. The original route was abandoned, leading to a shortened race as riders requested to only race the latter part of the first lap. Simmons successfully executed a bold attack before the finish, narrowly securing his win against a close chase from Pavel Bittner. Despite the chaos, the overall race standings remained unchanged with Juan Ayuso still in the lead.
A chaotic penultimate stage at the Volta Catalunya resulted in a first World Tour-level victory for Quinn Simmons (Lidl-Trek) after just half an hour of racing.
Race organisers proposed a new shortened route due to high winds, leading riders to request only racing the final portion of the first lap.
Simmons launched a speculative attack under the flamme rouge, managing to hold off a rapidly approaching chasing pack to take the stage win.
There were no changes in the overall standings as Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) retains the race lead by a single second over Primož Roglič.
