The race: Here's the race organizer's stage seven summary.

The 103rd edition of the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya will go down in history as the edition of Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), the most charismatic cyclist of his generation, who finished off the race with a fourth stage victory on its final day, the traditional finale in the city of Barcelona and its Montjuïc circuit. A victory in a hard-fought reduced sprint that adds to those achieved with solo attacks in the mountain stages finished in Vallter, Port Ainé and Queralt to frame a week for history for the Slovenian.

At 25 years of age, double Tour de France winner and five-time Monuments champion Tadej Pogačar has added the Volta a Catalunya to his long list of victories in world-class events, a year after his compatriot Primož Roglič took victory. Two cyclists of reference in their generation who have left their mark in Catalonia in two editions to remember.

The final day of this 2024 edition reached its seventh stage, a day of 145.3 kilometers starting from the Plaza de Espanya in Barcelona, with passage through the Coll de la Creu d' Ordal (3rd category) in its initial ride through the Baix Llobregat and return to the capital for six laps of the circuit of l' Alt del Castell de Montjuïc.

There, a group of five breakaway riders arrived highlighted with Ander Okamika (Burgos-BH) winning the prize as the most combative rider of the day and German Georg Steinhauser (EF Education-EasyPost), who had already been a protagonist in the fifth stage on the way to Viladecans, was the man who most resisted the rider's push in the first laps of the Montjuïc circuit, with attacks from names like Marc Soler (UAE Team Emirates) and the work of Egan Bernal's Ineos Granaderos team. The young German was caught at the start of the last lap, with the group on fire after a first move by Pogačar on the passage through the toughest ramps of Castell de Montjuïc.

Despite attacks on the last lap by Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Dstny), the Belgian icon who was bidding farewell to the race in which he has added five stage wins in his career, Stephen Williams (Israel-Premier Tech) or Joao Almeida (UAE Team Emirates), nothing prevented a reduced sprint finish of about twenty riders in which Pogačar proved his versatility with a fourth victory. A poker for the memory of Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) in this Volta a Catalunya 2024, a generational cyclist who has led the final podium in Barcelona ahead of Mikel Landa (Soudal Quick-Step), at 3:41, and a recovered Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers), who returns to the final podium of the Volta after climbing in 2019. Three high-level protagonists for a Volta Ciclista a Catalunya that has lived a great week of competition between Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Barcelona.

The race: Here's the report from stage winner & GC leader Tadej Pogacar's UAE Team Emirates.

Pogačar dominated the queen stage of the Volta a Catalunya (Berga-Queralt, 154.7 km with 5 Gpm and summit finish) thanks to a solo move that earned him his 4th seasonal victory and strengthened his leadership in the general classification of the race.

After UAE Team Emirates controlling the race in the first half of the stage, the Slovenian talent attacked at 29 km to the arrival, when there were 2,6 km to the summit of the Collada de San Isidre, obtaining immediately a large gap (around 55”) on the immediate chasers, who were Mikel Landa (Soudal Quick Step) and Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers).

Pogačar handled the advantage on the chasing duo also in the final climb, crossing the finish line with 57” on Bernal and Landa.

With only one stage left in the Volta a Catalunya 2024, Barcelona-Barcelona, 145,3 km with 6 laps on the Alt de Montjuic, the UAE Team Emirates’ captain leads the GC with 3’31” on Landa.

Another shot of Pogacar finishing the stage.

Pogačar: “It was a very hard stage. We controlled it from the start in a pretty good way, but on the long hors category climbs Visma-Lease a Bike tried to set a harder pace that heavily selected the group. There were only 10 riders remaining, and we as UAE Team Emirates were well represented considering that there were also Joao Almeida and Marc Soler with me. Then a group of riders came back, Movistar tried to attack on the following climb and I launched my attack there and I went to the top and then straight to the arrival. The final climb was great, with such a lot of people cheering”.

The race: Here's the report from Team Visma | Lease a Bike.

In the shadow of the cycling excitement in Flanders and Italy, among other places, racing also took place today in Catalonia. Team Visma | Lease a Bike got through the fifth stage of the Volta a Catalunya without too much trouble. With the final weekend approaching, Sepp Kuss is in seventh place in the general classification.

Stage five was expected to favor the breakaway riders, but the sprinters' teams certainly didn't count themselves out of chances either. Consequently, it took a long time before a breakaway group finally got the green light. Attila Valter showed his fighting spirit along the way by attempting several breakaways. Eventually the stage ended in a sprint, won by the Frenchman Axel Laurence. Classification riders Kuss and Cian Uijtdebroeks finished in the same time.

“Initially, we came here for a top-five classification with Sepp or with Cian," stated sports director Marc Reef. "And that is still possible. We have two very difficult stages left. We are getting a little bit stronger every day, so that is promising for the final two stages."

Uijtdebroeks describes his day on the bike: "It was still a pretty tough day. In this race, no day is easy. The two climbs along the way went smoothly. We positioned ourselves well at the front when we needed to be alert as a team. We even managed to save some energy for tomorrow. Hopefully, we can go all out then.”

Weather at the finish city of Lleida at 12:45 PM, local time: 21C (70F), fair, with the wind from the southwest at 6 km/hr (4 mph). No rain is forecast.

Rated ascent:

• Km 73.7: Port d'Ager, Cat. 2

The race: José Manuel Garcia (Burgos-BH) & Raul Garcia Pierna (Arkea-B&B Hotels) did not start.

Here's the report from stage winner Marijn van den Berg's Team EF Education -EasyPost:

Marijn van den Berg flew through the hectic final kilometer of stage four of the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya, waited for his moment, and launched his sprint.

He thrust his bike forward at the line. No one was going to deny the Dutchman his first win of 2024. Marijn was ahead by a bike length in the final photo.

After catching his breath, he waved and blew a kiss to the television camera. Today’s victory is his first big prize of 2024 and an award for the hard work and determination he showed this spring. Marijn was glad to reward the confidence that his teammates put in him from the moment the flag dropped in Sort all the way to the finish in Lleida.

“It was a really fast day and the plan was to race for me the whole day,” Marijn said. “The team rode on the front to control the break. I felt quite good the whole day and they kept me in front. At the end, it was kind of hectic with all of the roundabouts, but I knew the Brian Coquard was a really fast guy and tried to aim for his wheel. I kept on it until the finish and then came past in the last few hundred meters.”

That’s an understatement. Marijn absolutely rocketed up the final uphill drag. He is back in great form after a difficult spring.

“I made a big step this winter and it was going really well in the beginning, but then I crashed quite hard in Algarve and had a concussion and was out for a little bit,” Marijn said. “I started competing again last week in Milano-Torino and Milano-Sanremo and then I came here to focus on getting in shape and see how the outcome would be here in a stage like today. Now, I am back on track, I would say.”

You sure are, Marijn.

Tomorrow’s fifth stage out of Altafulla features two categorized climbs before a flat run into Viladecans. If he can get over the hills, Marijn could have the chance to sprint again.

Weather at the city of Rialp, on the route, 20 km from the finish, at 1:05 PM, local time: 19C (67F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the south at 8 km/hr (5 mph). There is a 6% chance of rain.

Rated ascents:

• Km 41.9: Port de Toses, Cat. 1
• Km 132.9: Port de Cantó, Hors Categorie
• Km 176.7: Port Ainé, Hors Categorie

The race: Loe Van Belle (Visma | Lease a Bike) & Pavel Bittner (dsm-firmenich-PostNL) did not start.

Here's the report from winner Tadej Pogacar's UAE Team Emirates:

Minutes after Diego Ulissi (UAE Team Emirates) won stage two of the Coppi-Bartali race, UAE Team Emirates could celebrate also the stage victory of Pogačar in Volta a Catalunya (16 wins for the Emirati team in 2024).

Repeating the winning move that brought him to victory on stage 2, the Slovenian star attacked on the final climb of the day (stage 3, 176,7 km from Sant Joan de les Abadesses to Port Ainé, final climb of 18,4 km at 6,7%).

Pogačar sped up at -6 km, overtaking Mikel Landa (Soudal-Quick Step) and powering on to the finish , where he had an advantage of 48” on the Spaniard.

Pogačar: "Definitely it wasn’t easy, it was a really hard climb, also in altitude and cold at the top. Once again, it was a super good stage for us, I wanted to take the victory because the team worked super hard for me.

"Mikel Landa attacked first, I went on the counter after him because I saw he had already made the gap. I thought that it could be maybe too early to attack, but I found a good rhythm and I could still push good until the final 2 km, though I could definitely feel the altitude in the final section."

Complete results:

176.7 kilometers raced at an average speed of 38.635 km/hr
