The race: Stage winner Matteo Trentin's Mitchelton-Scott team sent me this summary.
Stage two winner Matteo Trentin has claimed a second stage victory today on the final stage of Ruta del Sol to make it a consecutive stage win for Mitchelton-SCOTT after Simon Yates' win yesterday.
After an impressive lead-out into the final two kilometres by multiple Giro d’Italia stage winner Esteban Chaves and neo-pro Edoardo Affini, the European champion had a clear run to the line to make it win number 11 for the men's Australian outfit this season.
There was no rest for yesterday’s stage winner Simon Yates as he jumped into the day’s breakaway with three other riders within the first 30minutes of racing.
Tomasz Marczynski (Lotto Soudal), Antwan Tolhoek (Jumbo-Visma) and Oscar Riesebeek (Roompot-Charles) quickly increased their advantage with Yates doing a lot of the driving up and over the categorised climbs. After 45km the group had a four minute advantage with Astana Pro Team doing the chasing behind.
As the kilometres ticked down, Astana Pro Team increased the tempo in the bunch and gradually the gap dropped back down to within striking distance. On the final climb of the day, Alto Valle De La Vida, with around 36kilometres to go, the breakaway’s advantage was just 35seconds and it looked like the catch was soon to be made.
In his relentless style, Yates decided to launch an attack and headed over the summit of the climb in front as the solo leader. With a fierce chase behind, eventually Yates was reeled back in and the reduced main group navigated down the descent towards the finish line.
With five kilometres to go, finally the race was all together again after some other late attacks and Mitchelton-SCOTT headed towards the front of the bunch to keep Trentin in position.
Sacrificing themselves, Chaves and Affini led the peloton through the final two kilometres, with Affini burying himself all the way until the final roundabout to give his fellow Italian compatriot Trentin a clear run up the uphill drag to the finish line to take the team’s third victory of the race.
Mitchelton-SCOTT finish the five-day event on a high after claiming three stage wins with Trentin (stage two and five) and Simon Yates (stage 4) plus the overall mountains classification victory.
Matteo Trentin:
“In the last two kilometres it was roundabout after roundabout after roundabout, we knew it because we checked it yesterday and I said to the guys the best way to win today is to have a clear run to the last kilometre and that’s what they did.
“Chapeau to Affini, he was dropped and he came back and he did a massive pull to get into the last roundabout, so as a first year as a pro it was a really really good one. Also all the other guys too, when you see Chaves pulling on the front for a sprint it really is something nice.
“I feel really good and confident now for the next races.”

The race: Winner Simon Yates' Mitchelton-Scott team sent me this report.
Vuelta a España champion Simon Yates has claimed his first victory of the 2019 season on the Queen stage of Ruta del Sol, after a powerful attack on the the final first category climb.
The Brit fought solo from 26km to go and successfully held off six-chasers to take the stage victory and make it win number 10 for Mitchelton-SCOTT.
In the opening kilometres of the stage seven-riders, including Esteban Chaves, jumped away and hovered just over one-minute ahead of the peloton. Eventually, four others successfully bridged across as they headed over the first climb of the day. Taking the pressure off his teammates, other teams led the chase and on the first category climb, the l’Alto de Purche, Astana Pro Team put the pressure on and the peloton split, with a select group of 30 making the junction to the escapees.
On the third climb of the stage Simon Yates, Pello Bilbao (Astana) and Sergio Samitier (Euskadi–Murias) away from the leading group but shortly after Jack Haig, Adam Yates and other race favourites bridged across to make a leading group of 10 riders.
Simon waited for another good moment and counter attacked a move from Bilbao. The Brit was able to open up a solo lead with nobody able to follow. As the road continued to go up, Yates' advantage continued to increase and he reached the summit of the Alto d’ Hazallans with 22km remaining and a healthy lead of 47seconds.
Knowing the descent well, the 26-year-old continued to increase his advantage, powering around the corners and eventually crossing the finish line in Granada 26seconds ahead of the first chase group.
Simon Yates - Stage 4 winner:
“I had better legs than the first few days, today I was feeling really good so of course I am really happy to win.
“We wanted to make it a really hard race, Astana did most of the job on the first climb then the race kind of evolved from there over the next climbs.
"I’m not high up on GC so I thought I’d have a bit more freedom and we wanted to put pressure on Astana and the other teams. We didn’t really want to ride behind so I went early and the selection was made and then the rest of the racing it sorted itself out.
“I never normally win this early in the season, I had a really good winter so I hope to continue that trend and keep it going.”

Weather at the finish city of La Guardia de Jaen at 1:30 PM, local time: 18C (64F), sunny, with the wind from the NW at 5 km/hr (3 mph). No rain is forecast.
The race: Here's the report from 2nd-place Jakob Fuglsang's Team Astana.
Astana Pro Team did an impressive individual time trial at the third stage of the Vuelta a Andalucia Ruta Ciclista Del Sol, delivering 3 riders in the Top-10 of the stage with two of them on the stage podium: Jakob Fuglsang finished second, Ion Izagirre did third, while Pello Bilbao took 7th place.
- I just gave my all today. Can’t say that this time trial suited me very well, it was quite short and explosive. I’d prefer to have longer climbs, but today there were just two hard but short climbs in the beginning and in the end and a long and fast downhill in the middle. It is a pity I did not win, because I was really close today. But, we still have one very hard stage tomorrow and as we saw today, we have a very strong team. We will try to do something in the queen stage, - said Jakob Fuglsang.
- I can be happy with the way I did this TT. I did my best, but, it was not enough to win the stage. But, the feelings are good, and I think we are ready to challenge our rivals tomorrow, - added Ion Izagirre.
- It was a good race for me, I am good at the downhill, so today I took maximum on the descent and later on the flat part just before the last climb. I am happy with my performance but also I am happy to see my teammates doing a strong race as well. We will see, what we can do tomorrow, - said Pello Bilbao.
The 3rd stage of the Vuelta a Andalucia has been held today between Mancha Real and La Guardia de Jaén. It was a challenging individual time trial of 16,2 km with two difficult climbs and one long and very fast downhill. Firstly, Pello Bilbao marked a very good time at the finish, showing the second best result. Later, it was Ion Izagirre, who was able to set the new best time, finishing the distance in 22 minutes and 34 seconds. But, very shortly, Jakob Fuglsang finished with the new best time – 22.27. And only the current leader Tim Wellens could beat this numbers by just 2 seconds.
Ahead of tomorrow's queen stage Wellens leads the race having 7 seconds of advantage to Fuglsang and 14 seconds to Izagirre. Bilbao is 6th overall, 28 seconds behind the leader.
Stage 4 will be held tomorrow: 119,9 km from Armilla to Granada.

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Matteo Trentin's Mitchelton-Scott team.
European champion Matteo Trentin claimed his second victory of the season today, powering to the line to take a close sprint victory ahead of Danny van Poppel (Jumbo-Visma), on the second and longest stage in Ruta del Sol.
It was touch and go, as to whether Trentin could make it to the line before Ivan García Cortina (Bahrain-Merida), who held a small gap in the final few hundred metres after launching his sprint early. In the end, the 29-year-old Italian timed his sprint to perfection, blasting down the final 200metres to pass Cortina and make it win number nine for Mitchelton-SCOTT this season.
In the opening kilometres, six-riders were given full freedom by the peloton and quickly formed the day's break. The group worked well together and with a steady, relaxed peloton with 216km in front of them, the escapees were able to gain a maximum advantage of seven-minutes.
The flat first half of the course lent itself to a relaxed chase and it wasn’t until the final 50km when the peloton reeled the leaders back into striking distance, before the catch was finally made with 25km to go.
Riding selflessly, the whole Mitchelton-SCOTT team headed the front of the bunch, taking control of the pace to make the final catch and continue to drive hard up and over the only climb of the day until the final five kilometres.
Mikel Nieve, Esteban Chaves and Simon Yates buried themselves on the front, and with the peloton strung out in one long line and Trentin tucked in the wheels conserving energy, the the scene was set for a bunch sprint.
After their work was done, Trentin surfed through the bunch and despite getting boxed in at one point inside the final 800metres, he remained calm and confident and was able to secure his second sprint victory of the year.
Jack Haig, who finished fourth on yesterday’s uphill finish stage, moved up one place to third overall ahead of tomorrow’s 16km individual time trial.
Matteo Trentin:
“I think I actually did a really good sprint because it was uphill and I really never slowed down speed, I could switch gears coming up to go harder so I am really happy.”
“Corinta went really far from the finish and with about 150metres to go he slowed down and I knew if I could hit the front with around 250metres then it would be ok. I timed my sprint as best as I could and it finished perfectly.
“It was really nice to have the guys riding on the front today and it is why we have had so many victories this season. It is a little bit like one for all, all for one.
"We saved Jack a little bit of course for his GC ambition but we just decided to smash the climb a little bit. Simon was riding a little bit before and I think having climbers riding on a sprint day and sprinters riding on a climb day, it just shows how we are together and how much we care one another.”

Weather at the finish city of Alcala de los Gazules at 2:00 PM, local time: 18C (65F), sunny, with the wind from the ESE at 23 km/hr (14 mph). No rain is forecast.
The race: Here's the report from 2nd-place Jakob Fuglsang's Team Astana.
Astana Pro Team had a very good start at the prestigious Vuelta a Andalucia Ruta Ciclista Del Sol with the finish of the first stage atop short but very steep cobbled climb in Alcalá de los Gazules. Jakob Fuglsang and Ion Izagirre both finished on the podium (2nd place for Fuglsang and 3rd place for Izagirre), while Pello Bilbao did 6th.
- In the first part of the final climb it was so strong head wind. I had a good position and I was able to come in front in the middle of the climb. I saw the attack of Ion and I tried to pull out, but later Tim Wellens went away and it was hard to follow him in that moment. I lost speed a bit going into the last steep part, but later I was able to come back and to finish second. So, it is one more second place for me, but in general I can be happy with this stage. The feeling was good, so we will see in the next days, - explained Jakob Fuglsang.
- We did a good race as we controlled well the breakaway together with a few other teams. So, we were ready for the final while there we just gave our best. There was a strong head wind on the final climb, so it was impossible to attack in the beginning of the climb. But, the team stayed strong, we had a very good position in front. With 500 meters I tried to attack, but later Tim Wellens passed me. He was just stronger today. However, I can be happy with the stage and my performance. It was just the first stage and I finished really close, just 5 seconds to Wellens. Of course, you are always looking for a victory, but we still have four days in this race, so we will keep of fighting, - said Ion Izagirre.
The first stage of the Vuelta a Andalucia took start in Sanlúcar de Barramed and after 170,5 km finished atop a very steep climb which leads to the town center of Alcalá de los Gazules. Astana Pro Team worked very well leading the peloton and chasing the breakaway, which has been caught closer to the finish. The Kazakh team led its leaders to the final climb, providing them with the best position before the last kilometer. Jakob Fuglsang, Pello Bilbao and Ion Izagirre all were in front of the group, fighting for the stage, but the last winner of Vuelta a Andalucia Tim Wellens was a bit stronger today, taking the stage win and the leadership in this race.
Stage 2 of the race will be held tomorrow: 216,5 km from Sevilla to Torredonjimeno.
