Hugh Carthy is still officially a neo-pro but he enjoyed a breakthrough performance at the recent Volta a Catalunya. The Caja Rural rider finished ninth overall and won the best young classification at the Spanish WorldTour race just a minute behind the winner and Tour de France contender Nairo Quintana (Movistar).
The young Briton is about to embark on his next big goal of the season at the Giro del Trentino, where he will go up against riders such as Vincenzo Nibali (Astana), Romain Bardet (Ag2r-La Mondiale) and Mikel Landa (Team Sky).
Cyclingnews spoke to the modest, but ambitious 21-year-old to discuss his Catalunya ride, competing with the best in the world and his hopes for the future.
