A chaotic penultimate stage at the Volta a Catalunya resulted in a first World Tour-level victory for Quinn Simmons (Lidl-Trek), after just half an hour of racing.
High winds curtailed the route that had been originally planned for the Queen stage, preventing the race from reaching the summit finish at Queralt. Race organisers proposed a new shortened route, and though they initially intended the peloton to complete a full lap of the circuit, the riders united to request that they race only the final portion of the first lap.
