| Down to just Matej Mohoric (Slovenia / Team Bahrain - Victorious) and Thomas De Gendt (Belgium / Team Lotto Soudal). Mohoric finished second + 22s. "In the descent of Montjuïc, Mohorič always took some advantage, but he kept letting me come back. I knew that I had to leave him behind on the climb because on the descent, he would be the better rider and I would have to settle for second place. When the Slovenian took the lead on the final ascent, I felt that the pace dropped a bit and I decided to attack. Then I hoped he would get dropped and not come back on the descent. Luckily I was able to open up a nice gap and ride solo to victory," Thomas De Gendt said post-race. | share this photo |

| Solo specialist Thomas De Gendt (Belgium / Team Lotto Soudal) does it again winning Stage 7 by 22s ahead of Mohoric: “I really like the Volta a Catalunya and with five stage victories under my belt, the race seems to suit me really well” Thomas De Gendt said post-race. “I just like the terrain and the variety of stages. I was really disappointed that the race couldn't take place last year due to the known circumstances. Fortunately, I'm back this year and I could grab another stage win. It is my ninth participation in this stage race and I am successful on almost every occasion. So you can state that the Volta a Catalunya really is a race made for me.” | share this photo |
