Oscar Onley hopes to bring home a stage win from his Vuelta a España debut: "Hopefully they’ll let some breaks go"

The 20-year old Scot Oscar Onley continues his promising full first season as a WorldTour rider, finishing tenth overall at the Tour de Pologne, a result that bodes more than well for his Grand Tour debut later this month at the Vuelta a España.

"It’s nice for the confidence to do well here, the start of the season went pretty well, but then I had a little dip during the Dauphine," Onley told Cyclingnews during the Tour de Pologne.

"I had had a lot of races and I was getting sick between them so I struggled there. So it’s nice to be back here and fighting for the wins. This is a preparation race after coming back from altitude. So it’s full focus on the Vuelta after this."

"I’ve looked a bit at the climbs, not so much yet, but there should be some stages that suit me, although it all depends on what the GC racers want to do. There is a really strong field there with Jumbo, Ineos and Soudal, but hopefully they’ll let some breaks go."
