KOM (Alt de Sant Feliu de Codines)
2026-03-26T13:20:33.560Z
Over the top of the climb go the break with a gap of two and a half minutes on the peloton.
2026-03-26T13:17:41.445Z
After the first hour the riders are now 800 metres from the top of the Alt de Sant Feliu de Codines. They have done an average speed of just under 40kph, which is incredible considering they’ve ridden almost 1000 metres of elevation gain.

2026-03-26T13:01:21.415Z

2026-03-26T12:53:47.419Z
Puncture for Luke Tuckwell (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) and a mechanical for Tao Geoghegan-Hart (Lidl-Trek).
2026-03-26T12:52:34.304Z

2026-03-26T12:49:15.822Z
That break is dragged back yet again! A new move of four riders have gone clear.
2026-03-26T12:47:55.038Z
Those three bonus seconds now mean that Evenepoel is eight seconds behind Godon in the GC and the two bonus seconds for Pidcock leaves him 14 seconds behind Godon in third overall.
2026-03-26T12:46:37.863Z
Counter attack by four riders!

130km to go
2026-03-26T12:38:46.661Z

2026-03-26T12:36:48.385Z
The riders are now just 4km from the first intermediate sprint of the day in Granollers. Potentially a chance for GC riders to take three, two and one bonus seconds.
2026-03-26T12:36:00.408Z
Uriarte has been wound back in again. The break is having a hard time of going clear.
2026-03-26T12:34:23.612Z
Attack!
2026-03-26T12:33:38.810Z
The Coll de Parpers has absolutely no impact on the lead of Veistroffer who comfortably sits in that jersey and will not lose it today. He just needs to finish within the time cut.
2026-03-26T12:32:42.904Z
KOM (Coll de Parpers)
2026-03-26T12:30:57.552Z
140km to go
2026-03-26T12:29:26.195Z
Over the top of the climb and the break only have 10 seconds gap!
2026-03-26T12:27:37.117Z
Just 1km from the top of the Coll de Parpers.
2026-03-26T12:27:06.925Z
There is still a rather brutal 2841 metres of elevation gain to be tackled today, despite no ascent of the Vallter 200.
2026-03-26T12:25:15.819Z
Decomble is a bit of a danger man in the break. The young Frenchman sits at just 20 seconds behind Godon and is a very talented climber. He isn’t someone the peloton will let go lightly. This is probably why the gap is still only around 30 seconds.
2026-03-26T12:23:42.584Z
It is actually the first time since stage one that there isn’t two Lotto-Intermarche riders in the break. In fact, there isn’t even one!
2026-03-26T12:22:37.207Z
With the break already starting the first climb of the day, the Coll de Parpers (3km with an average gradient of 5% and a max of 8%), there is a rider that is notable by his absence, Baptiste Veistroffer (Lotto-Intermarche) has won every KOM sprint so far and been in every breakaway. Maybe today was a step too far?

Counter move tries to get across but the peloton closes it down with five riders going clear with 20 seconds gap.

Vingegaard followed Evenepoel’s attack and, for the most part, sat on the wheel of his rival. He did give a few turns but stopped working once the time gap dropped from 25 seconds to 13 seconds in the final few kilometres.

2026-03-26T10:37:02.452Z
Remco Evenepoel (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) lit up yesterday’s finale in the crosswinds along with Jonas Vinegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike). However, with just 300 metres to go, the Olympic champion hit a pothole before the final roundabout and went down hard. Vingegaard sat up and was caught by the peloton with Dorian Godon (Ineos Grenadiers) winning, but the chaos in the GC fight was amazing…
