Orica BikeExchange's Simon Yates was a happy man after taking the victory on stage six of the Vuelta a Espana.

Yates caught and passed Mathias Frank of IAM Cycling to take the victory and said to his team's press office: “I am really happy with this win.

“It’s actually my first victory as a full professional and of course it is very special, especially in such a tough race.”

“The team were fantastic today, we had to be really switched on from the first kilometre and tactically we got it spot on.

“I hope that I can carry this form into the upcoming races, but for sure I am going to enjoy this moment.”
