Following Egan Bernal’s gutsy attacks in the mountains of Asturias, Adam Yates took over as Ineos Grenadiers main challenger in Galicia’s final hilly stage 20 of the Vuelta a España with a mixed degree of success, but an equal degree of satisfaction.

The Briton’s repeated attacks on the first category Alto de Mougás blew the race apart and saw him form an elite group of GC challengers alongside Enric Mas (Movistar) and race leader Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma).
