Adam Yates has never been one to beat around the bush, and less than a month after the Briton helped UAE Team Emirates teammate Tadej Pogačar win the Tour de France, he was upbeat about tackling the Vuelta a España and looking out for his own GC chances in Spain and being realistic about what he could achieve.
“It’s less pressure here in the Vuelta, because for one thing we don’t know the level we’re at,” Yates told Cyclingnews during the countdown to the Lisbon start where he’ll be co-leading UAE Team Emirates alongside home rider João Almeida.
