The British rider from BikeExhange has won the XXXVI Vuelta a Castilla y León after solo victory in the second and final stage.
British rider Simon Yates (BikeExhange-Jayco) has been crowned the winner of the XXXVI Vuelta a Castilla y León, after soloing the second and final stage, which starts and finishes in Guijuelo over 189.3 kilometers, after attacking on the Alto de los Santos 25 kilometers from the finish line.
Simon Yates, winner of La Vuelta a España in 2018 and third in the Giro d'Italia in 2021, attacked the survivors of a 12-rider breakaway, including Italian Vincenzo Nibali (Astana), on the climb to Alto de los Santos, the final stage of a stage in which the peloton also climbed a first-category climb, a second-category climb, and two third-category climbs.
Yates thus snatched the lead from Italian Giacomo Nizzolo (Israel-Premier Tech), who had scored his first victory of the season the day before in Morales del Vino, and accumulated his seventh victory of the season, after two stages in the Vuelta a Asturias and two more in the Giro, one in Paris-Nice and the Ordizia Classic.
The Briton preceded New Zealander George Bennett (UAE Team Emirates) in second place on the stage and succeeds Frenchman Matis Louvel in the Castilian-Leonese round.
