Back to 2014 Volta a Catalunya

Thursday, March 27: Stage 4, Alp - Vallter 2000 (Setcases), 166.4 km

The Race: Neither 2013 Vuelta winner Chris Horner nor 2014 Paris-Nice champion Carlos Betancur started today's mountainous stage.

A four-man break survived until halfway up the Vallter 2000 HC climb. It was bitterly cold and snowing, but Tejay Van Garderen left the other favorites a few seconds behind. Second-place Romain Bardet was furious with how things came out because it was his attack that Van Garderen joined. With about 25 meters to go Van Garderen took the lead and the stage.

Joaquin Rodriguez remains the leader with Alberto Contador only four seconds behind in the overall.

164 starters, 159 classified finishers. 34.487 km/hr average speed
