Remco Evenepoel has vowed to take the fight to his GC rival and "idol" Primož Roglič on Sunday's final stage of the Volta a Catalunya after the pair fought over bonus seconds on stage 6 to Molins de Rei.

The world champion, who lies 10 seconds down on the race leader, traded seconds with the Slovenian on the lumpy 174km stage, with the duo escaping late on and Evenepoel even mixing it with the sprinters at the end of the stage.
