pulse of the two Lotto men remained alive until the end while the peloton suffered a cut due to the fall of Henri Uhlig (Alpecin) which gave a small scare to Joao Almeida, whose team had to do extra work to link up with the front group, and head into the last five kilometers grouped together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"section\">\n<h2 class=\"ladillo\">Classification of the Volta a Catalunya
