Tomorrow the peloton will venture into the Pyrenees, but today runners will have another chance on the Tour of Catalonia. Teams of sprinters will be on guard, because there are some obstacles along the way that can throw a wrench in the works for the fast guys. Watch it live here from 12.10pm.
- One o’clock in the afternoon 14. Runners smell their chance today. They definitely won’t get it as a gift because the road to the end is tough. & nbsp; Hugo Hofstetter (Arkéa-Samsic) is a big contender if we get a quick sprint. Runner Phil Bauhaus defends the victorious Bahrain colors. David Dekker will get a chance from his Jumbo-Visma team if he turns into a sprinter. For Quick Step-Alpha Vinyl, this is Ethan Vernon or Andrea Bagioli. Michael Matthews (BikeExchange) indicated yesterday that his team would prefer Kaden Groves with a flat finish. The United Arab Emirates will send Sebastian Molano to the enemy. †
