Leader Goddon wins his second stage in the Volta after falling a few meters from the Evenepoel goal
The stage has come to an unexpected end when Evenepoel Vingegaard was on his head when he fell at the entrance of a 500-foot roundabout to reach the finish line. In the midst of this chaos, leader Goddon appeared to start the sprint and pocket his second victory in three days.
Dorian Godon (INEOS Grenadiers) on the finish line after winning his second stage victory.
The cyclist DorianGodon (INEOS Grenadiers) today won the third stage of the Volta to Catalonia, played between Mont-roig del Camp and Vila-seca (159.4 kilometers). He was leading the race Remco Evenepoel (Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe) , along with Jonas Vingegaard (Team Visma) , has gone to the ground about 500 meters from the finish line.
No one would have foreseen that after the escape had been completed in a mountainous first part, but without any attack from the roosters of the race, everything that had happened in the second half would have happened for a sprint.
The Belgian cyclist, the world champion against the clock, has been the protagonist of the great tactical movement of the day, but in the last section of the city, with the platoon almost on top, he has lost control of the bike. Evenepoel had enough room to contest the stage victory with Vingegaard, he had everything in his favor to win, but he has fallen.
Evenepoel, having fallen by a change of direction when he took the roundabout, has stood in the middle of the road by his bicycle, and the platoon that was engaged in the fight to win the stage has had to avoid the Belgian, while Vingegaard has managed to avoid the fall, but has run out of space and strength to finish the adventure alone.
In the midst of this chaos, leader Goddon has appeared, well placed in the platoon, to start his sprint and achieve his second victory in three days in this Volta, following Monday's victory in Sant Feliu de Guixols.
The stage has also had another difficult time, as Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) has had to leave the race due to another fall .
