Cycling: Adam Yates stays overall lead after stage 3 win on Volta Catalunya

Britain's Adam Yates claimed victory over the final climb of Wednesday's stage three of the Volta a Catalunya to take the lead in the general classification standings. Heading into the last five kilometres, Ineos Grenadiers rider Yates was part of a three-man breakaway along with Jumbo-Visma's Sepp Kuss and Alejandro Valverde of Movistar. American Kuss and Yates then pulled clear, with the British rider attacking again for a solo run up the final climb. Yates finished 13 seconds ahead of Colombian Esteban Chaves (Team BikeExchange), who made a late surge to finish second, while Geraint Thomas was fourth behind Valverde. It was Yates' first victory since joining the Ineos Grenadiers, and his second at the same summit finish following on from the 2019 race when he went on to be runner-up.
