Roglic defends overall lead
In the overall standings of the Tour of Catalonia 2023 Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) defended his lead. The Slovenian is still level with Remco Evenepoel (Soudal - Quick Step), but leads due to the better placings on the stages. Evenepoel had finished the day before won the mountain finish in La Molina. Friday could see a preliminary decision in the battle for overall victory, as a steep final climb awaits in Lo Port.
The Volta a Catalunya traditionally ends on Sunday after seven stages on a circuit with the Montjuic in the Catalan metropolis of Barcelona. The tour offers a foretaste of the upcoming Giro d'Italia in May, where Roglic and Evenepoel are also the two big favourites for overall victory.
