João Almeida conquered his first success since he wears the colors of UAE Team Emirates, imposing himself in the 4th stage of Volta Catalunya, the Seu d'Urgell-Boi Taull of 166,7 km with uphill finish. The Portuguese, fourth at the Giro d'Italia 2020, has ruled in a three-man sprint Nairo Quintana (Arkea-Samsic) and Sergio Higuita (Bora-Hansgrohe) at the end of the final climb, after having imposed to the group of the best climbers a pace that has cut out of the games the leader Ben O 'Connor (Ag2r-Citroen).
