Summary

Richard Moore and Lionel Birnie are again joined by François Thomazeau to discuss the eighth stage of the Vuelta a España, which offered some more clues as to who is going to be the strongest over three weeks.

If Primoz Roglic seemed to falter in recent days as Richard Carapaz took over the leader’s jersey the Slovenian struck back on the Alto de Moncavillo to win the stage and reduce the Ecuadorian’s overall lead. Before that Preston’s Hugh Carthy put his second place on the line with an attack.

In this episode we hear from Carthy’s EF Pro Cycling teammate Mitch Docker and from Nic Dlamini, one of our other audio diarists at the Vuelta.
