EF Education First Pro Cycling (Spain) - Press Release: British rider takes his first Grand Tour stage win.

Hugh Carthy took his first Grand Tour victory atop the mythical Alto de l’Angliru on stage 12 of the Vuelta a España. Our Prestonian also moved up into third overall ahead of the second and last rest day of the race.

With the shadow of the mighty Angliru cast over the race for the past week, all eyes were on stage 12 of the 2020 Vuelta. A climb seldom used throughout the history of the race because of the punishing gradients that would often lead to riders protesting the race organizers’ decision to use it, the Angliru has cemented itself in Vuelta lore.
