Stage 11 | Antequera – Valdepeñas de Jaén | Vuelta a España 2021

Season 9, Episode 152,   Aug 25, 2021, 07:52 PM

It was déjà-vu – or should that be Dane ja vu? – at the Vuelta a España as the race reached Valdepeñas de Jaén and a very steep climb past the Andalucian whitewashed buildings to the finish.

Lionel Birnie dials up Daniel Friebe in Spain and they initially ponder the Buffalo, Richard Moore’s whereabouts. Don’t worry, Richard joins us midway through.

We recap a second stage win for Primoz Roglic, who won on a climb that was tailor-made for him. But there was heartbreak for the Dane Magnus Cort, who nearly pulled off the impossible for the second time in the space of a week. He managed to evade capture to win the stage at Cullera but lightning didn’t strike twice for him. We also hear from Tom Pidcock about how his debut grand tour has been going.
