Oscar Onley dug deep to climb up to sixth place overall as the opening week of the Vuelta a Espana came to a close.<\/p>\n
The Scot retained the white jersey and jumped up one place on the General Classification following the first-category finish at Aram\u00f3n Valdelinares.<\/p>\n
Onley finished alongside fellow GC rivals Sepp Kuss (Visma | Lease a Bike) and Primoz Roglic (Red Bull – Bora – Hansgrohe), with the trio becoming distanced following a late acceleration from race leader Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates – XRG).<\/p>\n
The Netcompany INEOS rider sits just one second off fifth place, in addition to strengthening his grip on the white jersey as the race heads into its second week.<\/p>\n
Earlier Ben Turner was part of the day’s large initial breakaway after a big fight to make the move. However the group would quickly fracture on the first major climb of the day. Uno-X Mobility claimed an impressive 1-2 on the day, with Andreas Leknessund taking the win.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oscar Onley dug deep to climb up to sixth place overall as the opening week of the Vuelta…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":754728,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4985,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-754727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-cycling","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/754727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=754727"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/754727\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/754728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=754727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=754727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=754727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
