Carthy rides into Vuelta contention with Angliru win
Lancastrian Hugh Carthy has the talent and temperament to challenge for the overall win at the Vuelta a España after he stormed to victory on the Alto de l’Angliru on Sunday, his former team boss said.

The 26-year-old EF rider entered the race’s second rest day in third place and just 32 seconds off the red jersey of Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) after he attacked twice to put time into all his rivals on the 25 per cent slopes of Spain’s hardest mountain.
