‘He wasn’t happy with me, but that’s cycling’ – Jonas Vingegaard reflects on tactics and sportsmanship after two-up breakaway with Remco Evenepoel at Volta a Catalunya

Double Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) has expressed concern for rival racer Remco Evenepoel after the Belgian crashed at high speed in the closing moments of stage 3 of the Volta a Catalunya.

In a memorably dramatic final hour of racing, Evenepoel took off with some 22 kilometres to go as the peloton stretched out and snapped in echelons on the flatlands of the River Ebro estuary in southern Catalunya – and Vingegaard went with him.
