Carlos seventh as final weekend approaches

Carlos Rodriguez climbed to sixth on stage 19 of La Vuelta, a result that saw him slip to seventh overall with two pivotal days in the fight for the GC still remaining. 

A relatively easy day was defined by the summit finish of Alto de Moncalvillo, where the action would commence. A huge acceleration by eventual stage winner Primoz Roglic (Red Bull - Bora-Hansgrohe) saw the GC group splinter about halfway up the climb.

Carlos measured his effort well to come home sixth on the day, but other results saw Carlos slip to seventh overall.

The Grenadiers were also in action on stage four of the Tour of Britain. Despite animating the race in the finale, the team were unable to drag a group away on the flat stage to Newark.

Ethan Hayter would sprint to seventh, with Tom Pidcock close behind in 10th.
