One stage after finishing second at the Vuelta a Espana on Sunday, Canada's Mike Woods (EF Pro Cycling) won the seventh stage on Tuesday, attacking out of a breakaway on the final climb to the mountaintop finish. It is Woods' second Vuelta stage victory, after previously winning in 2018.

The seventh stage took the riders from Vitoria-Gasteiz to Villanueva de Valdegovia, covering 164 kilometres with a Category 2 climb before the final Category 1 climb to the finish. Woods attacked on the final climb with Omar Fraile (Astana), Alejandro Valverde (Movistar), Guillaume Martin (Cofidis) and Nans Peters (AG2R La Mondiale) joining him. Woods attacked out of the lead group with three kilometres to go, to finish four seconds ahead of Faile and Valverde. Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) continues to lead the overall standings with an 18-second advantage over Hugh Carthy (EF Pro Cycling).

"It was a special day and it's amazing to be racing in the Basque country," said Woods. "I got away with those four other guys and they were riding super strong. With Valverde in the group I couldn't pull through because of McCarthy [Woods' EF team mate sitting second overall]; we didn't want to give him [Valverde] any time in the general classification [Valverde was tenth overall on GC, improving to ninth after this stage]. So I was able to sit in a bit and had some luck with the legs."

"I had pencilled this [stage] in a bit, but initially I wasn't supposed to be in the break; I was supposed to be with Hugh. However, the race just got so crazy and the [lead] group got so big that I had to go across to make sure that we had numbers in it. I'm going to savour this one."

After seven stages, Woods is 48th at 39:23. In the Points classification he is fifth and tied with Dan Martin (Israel Start-Up Nation) at 16 points for fifth in the Mountains classification.
