FELLOW Prestonian Hugh Carthy believes it’s the hard graft that has lead to his rise in the world of cycling that saw him achieve a best ever Grand Tour finish in the Vuelta a España, finishing third on the podium in 2020, underlined by a memorable Alto d’ Angliru stage win.
“I like working, going into races – grinding,” said Preston born Carthy.
Carthy, 26, has signed a new two-year extension to his contract with EF Education-Nippo, following impressive displays while riding for the squad.
Carthy, who took a solo victory at the Tour de Suisse in 2019, riding alone for 98km over three huge mountain passes in the Swiss Alps, said: âI chose to stay at EF because the team feels right. Weâre a weird mix of riders but we form a team.

Tour de Suisse launches women’s race
Organizers of the Tour de Suisse are going forward with a women’s race for 2021, following a period of financial uncertainty for the race. The race will be comprised of two days of racing, and it will be held in conjunction with the opening weekend of the men’s WorldTour race.
The race will open with a hilly circuit on June 6 and then conclude with an individual time trial on June 7, which will be held alongside the opening ITT for the men’s race. Both stages will be held around Frauenfeld in northeastern Switzerland’
