Adam Yates' steady progress towards the Giro d'Italia has continued through the Volta a Catalunya and will now see the Briton head to altitude for three weeks before his first Grand Tour of 2025.

The 32-year-old had a support role in the Volta for his teammate Juan Ayuso. Ayuso is also set for the Giro, but his bid for overall victory in Catalunya came dramatically unstuck on the last stage when the Spaniard was ambushed and outpowered by Primož Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe).
