From one small country to another. Slovenia has dominated the Vuelta a Catalunya recently. For the third time in a row, a Slovenian has won the Catalan race after a thrilling display by Primoz Roglic (Red Bull) on Montjuïc. Roglic, the 2023 champion, won the Volta for the second time, a year after his compatriot Tadej Pogacar's triumph. On the final stage, Roglic was one second behind Juan Ayuso (UAE), but the Barcelona-born cyclist was unable to compete with the Slovenian's experience. His attack on the final circuit of Montjuïc was thrilling. "Roglic was superior," Ayuso sadly admitted.
