  "account": "Scottish cyclist Oscar Onley overcame adversity to win the youth classification at the Vuelta a España, marking his first Grand Tour title. The 23-year-old finished sixth overall after battling illness and crashes during the race. Onley narrowly missed a stage victory on stage nine but still secured a podium finish. He praised his team's cohesion and off-bike camaraderie as key factors in his success. Onley, who had not previously raced with his current team, credited the natural rapport among the group for their strong performance. The Vuelta began with fellow rider Josh Tarling, a week after his brother's death, whom Onley praised for his resilience. For his next Grand Tour, Onley aims to target the upcoming Tour de France, which will start in his home country of Scotland.",
