Adam Yates is putting on a brave face after his bad crash on stage 1 of the Volta a Catalunya, with the Briton hoping he can fight back and go on the attack during the two remaining major mountain stages.
Yates is currently lying 82nd overall after crashing at high speed late on Monday’s opening stage. He suffered abrasions across his body and lost over ten minutes to the other GC contenders, but then finished an encouraging fifth place at Vallter summit finish on Tuesday.
