August 26, 2024

´La Locomotora´ is charging up to full steam.

Richard Carapaz raced into the top three on GC with an 87-kilometer solo attack to end the sweltering first week of the Spanish grand tour.

Richie and his teammates will miss Rigoberto Urán and Rui Costa, who each had to leave the race early after falls, but Darren Rafferty, James Shaw, Harry Sweeny, Jefferson Alexander Cepeda, and Owain Doull are each ready to ride like ten men to help Richie in his hunt for the red jersey.

As they enjoy their first rest day and prepare for the mountains to come in the next two weeks, look back at some of our favorite moments from week one, captured through Harry Talbot´s lens.
