The final chapter of the Catalan round will close forever beautiful circuit of Montjuïcwhere race survivors have to complete six laps of the 7.5 kilometer route, with the incentive of six respective climbs to Alt del Castell de Montjuïc (2nd).
at this stage Roglic is a cousin has a ten second margin on Remco Evenepoelwhich, despite the fact that the Montjuïc circuit is difficult, explosive and exciting, should be enough for the leader of Jumbo-Visma include the name of Slovenia for the first time in the list of Volta winners.
History shows that there are no major changes in the general classification on the magic mountain in Barcelona, as long as there are no disasters, like the serious fall he experienced. Egan Bernal in 2018 when he tried to reduce the 16-second margin taken from him Alejandro Valverde in front of the race.
The Montjuïc circuit is a difficult route, which is taken by the public, but where fatigue and the descent can be decisive, due to the dizzying speed reached. in favor of R.oglic is the story, because the leader who came to Montjuïc maintained the distinction of the second classification or increased it.
Last year Sergio Higuita maintaining the 16 second margin he had coming into Barcelona Richard Carapaz, the same thing he did adam yates together Richie Porte in 2021 in 2021 (45″) or Miguel Angel Lopez in 2019 with adam yates (14”).
Anyway, roglic distrustful of the winning and non-conformist nature of evenepoel. In favor of the Belgian world champion, the courage that has always characterized his team and the desire to be the leader of Soudal-Quick Stepwho won’t sell any easy defeats Catalonia.
