Australian Chris Harper has ended a fine week at the Volta a Catalunya with an excellent sixth place - but he was just part of a helpless support cast, bit-part players to Tadej Pogacar's out-of-this-world triumph.
The great Slovenian Pogacar continued his amazing tour with a fourth victory of the week on the seventh and final stage to Barcelona on Sunday, dominating in magnificent fashion again to win the race overall by a mammoth three minute-41 second margin from Spain's Mikel Landa.
Harper, spearheading the Australian Jayco AlUla team, battled home 11th on the final stage, the fourth time he had ended up in the top dozen on a stage over the week.
