"Vingegaard, who was the race favourite in his first participation, took control in the Pyrenees with stage five and six solo victories. The Dane, who also won two stages and the overall title at Paris-Nice earlier this month, is planning a Giro d'Italia and Tour de France double assault later in the year."
"We won two stages and now the GC, it's been a really good week and we're super happy with it, said Vingegaard. It's been an amazing start to the year for me and I hope I can keep it going."
"Godon, who won two sprint stages in the race, seemed set to grab a third but Gilmore edged him over the line. In the end maybe I was just too confident, there was another rider who came from behind and nabbed it, said Godon, who won the points jersey."
"Evenepoel, who crashed earlier in the week and then cracked on the first uphill finish to scupper his chances of overall victory, frequently tried to attack but the Belgian Red Bull rider had to settle for third on the day's podium."
Jonas Vingegaard secured victory at the Volta a Catalunya, finishing 1min 22sec ahead of Lenny Martinez and 30 seconds ahead of Florian Lipowitz. Brady Gilmore achieved a surprise win in stage seven, outperforming Dorian Godon and Remco Evenepoel in a thrilling sprint. Vingegaard dominated the race with solo victories in stages five and six. He aims for a Giro d'Italia and Tour de France double later this year. Godon, despite winning the points jersey, expressed disappointment after losing the final stage. Evenepoel struggled after a crash earlier in the week.
