Simon Yates sealed victory in La Vuelta on this day in 2018 to complete a British clean sweep of the year\u2019s Grand Tours.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old Bury racer headed into the largely processional final stage into Madrid with a one minute and 46 seconds lead and avoided any late mishaps to land his first Grand Tour title.<\/p>\n

Yates\u2019 success followed that of Chris Froome at the Giro d\u2019Italia and Geraint Thomas at the Tour de France to round off an unprecedented year for British cycling.<\/p>\n

The three titles had never before been held by three riders from the same country.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

Yates said: \u201cIt\u2019s astonishing really. Growing up I was so accustomed to seeing the French, Italian and Spanish riders lead the way, so for myself, Chris and Geraint to all win a Grand Tour in the same year just shows how far the sport has come in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Froome, whose Tour-Vuelta double in 2017 meant British riders had at that point won five Grand Tours in a row, paid tribute to Yates\u2019 achievement, saying: \u201cSimon has looked so strong over the last three weeks and it\u2019s great to see him take home the maillot rojo. It\u2019s been a perfect year for British riders.\u201d<\/p>\n
