Cyclisme : Vingegaard's solo ascent seals commanding lead at Volta a Catalunya

Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) dominates stage 5 of the Volta a Catalunya with a stunning solo victory at Coll de Pal. The high winds prompt race organizers to shorten the climb, but Vingegaard thrives, attacking under 7km from the summit and finishing over a minute ahead of the competition. Felix Gall (Decathlon CMA CGM) claims second place, crossing the line 50 seconds behind, while Lenny Martinez (Bahrain Victorious), Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe), and Valentin Paret-Peintre (Soudal-QuickStep) round out the top five.

Remco Evenepoel (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) struggles, finishing sixth, 1:37 off the pace after a crash two days prior. Tom Pidcock (Pinarello Q36.5) suffers a setback, while Ineos Grenadiers sees its leader’s jersey slip away. Vingegaard seizes the overall lead, now 57 seconds ahead of Gall in the general classification.
