Remco Evenepoel's hopes of battling Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) in the Volta a Catalunya may have gone up in smoke after his bad crash on stage 3, but he found a new kingmaker's role for himself on the key mountain stage to Queralt.
Evenepoel made a massive effort on the final hour of racing to keep a select front group of seven, including Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe teammate Florian Lipowitz, ahead and away from the chasers.
