Vernon takes Tour of Catalonia sprint as teen Brennan keeps lead
British sprinter Ethan Vernon won a mass sprint on the Tour of Catalonia on Tuesday, followed over the line at Figueres by teenage compatriot Matthew Brennan.
After a four hour and 16 minute, 177km run, from Banyoles that included two mountains, the peloton was largely grouped as it raced at up to 70kmh toward the finish line in Figueres.
Israel Premier-Tech's Vernon had been dropped in the mountains but kept calm to work his way back.
The runner-up spot means Visma rider Brennan, just 19, retains the overall lead by 6sec from Australian Kaden Groves.
The seven-day race will be decided over three mountain stages on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Home hope Juan Ayuso of UAE is the man to beat after his Tirreno-Adriatico triumph in Italy. He sat fifth overall Tuesday at 13sec off the lead
In the absence of champion Tadej Pogacar, the other 2024 podium finishers, Spain's Mikel Landa and Colombian former Tour de France winner Egan Bernal, could also contend.
Wednesday's 218km run from Viladecans has a mountain-top finish at La Molina.
The leading climbers are nearly all competing with Primoz Roglic, twins Simon and Adam Yates, Richard Carapaz and Enric Mas as they prepare for the Tour de France.
