Primož Roglič held off Juan Ayuso on a summit finish on stage four of the Volta a Catalunya on Thursday to take his first victory of 2025.
The Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe rider went with UAE Team Emirates-XRG's Ayuso when the Spanish race leader attacked with under 3km to go on the climb to Montserrat Mil·lenari. Despite the latter's best efforts, Roglič managed to out-power him, and took the race lead with it. The pair are now on the same time, but Roglič has claimed the lead on count-back. The Slovenian repeatedly tried to drop Ayuso on the run-in, but failed to do so, and had to resort to a sprint to the line.
