Primož Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) took his first victory of the season on the summit finish in Montserrat on stage 4 of the Volta a Catalunya, following another head-to-head battle with Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates-XRG). The two sprinted side by side for the second consecutive day, with the Slovenian edging Ayuso by a wheel length on the line.
With crucial bonus seconds accumulated at the day’s intermediate sprint to add to those accrued on the finish line, Roglič moves into the general classification lead, on the same time as Ayuso, but taking control of the leader’s jersey on countback.
