On Your Bike! Eddie Dunbar Seals Victory

Eddie ended a long, frustrating period of bad luck and injury with this victory on stage 11 on Wednesday August 28th, soloing to a brilliant victory in Padrón.

The Jayco-AlUla rider was part of the day’s big breakaway group and bided his time in the finale before launching a superbly-timed attack with about 600 meters to go. He powered in two seconds clear of the next riders, Quinten Hermans (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Max Poole (Team DSMFirmenich-PostNL).

Eddie was seventh in last year’s Giro d’Italia but endured a spate of crashes in the past two seasons, being forced to withdraw from the 2023 Vuelta and this year’s Giro as a result.

Eddie may have suffered some setbacks early in this year’s Veulta, but came back to take the memorable stage win on stage 11 and has been improving as the race goes on.
