‘Nothing to lose’ – Adam Yates follows brother Simon’s tracks in Granada to triumph in Vuelta a España

Six years after Simon Yates broke away on the Alto de Hazallanas and soloed to victory in Granada in the Vuelta a Andalucia, his brother Adam Yates repeated family history with a lone win in the same city in the Vuelta a España, also attacking on the same climb of Hazallanas as well.

While Simon’s win came in the early-season stage race back in 2018 thanks to an attack 27 kilometres from the line, Adam Yates‘ victory in the Vuelta a España was captured on stage 9 after getting away in the break of the day and then dropping all his rivals some 60 kilometres out.
