Adam Yates turned from teammate to supporter on stage 4 of the Vuelta a España, as he shared a fist bump with Pogačar from the side of the road in Andorra.
The Briton was spotted by the TV cameras supporting Pogačar at the base of the Alto de la Comella inside the final 10km of the stage, as the world champion was riding to a 50km solo victory.
Yates’ last pinned on a number at the Tour de France in July, where he helped support Pogačar to a record-equalling fifth yellow jersey.
There was little left for Pogačar to do in terms of making a difference by the final climb, having already amassed a lead of over 3 minutes after attacking with 50km remaining on the Collada de Beixalis.
The world champion now leads by 3:21 over Primož Roglič after just three completed stages, as he looks to become the ninth male rider to win all three Grand Tours.
