Summary

The time trial stage of the Vuelta a España was always going to be important and it caused a re-shuffle at the top of general classification with Primoz Roglic taking the red jersey of race leader back from Richard Carapaz.

Lizzy Banks joins Richard Moore and Lionel Birnie to discuss the stage and its implications for the race. They also debate the “gimmick” of the steep climb at the end that saw the riders change bikes mid-stage.

We hear from Hugh Carthy, George Bennett and Will Barta, who looked like winning the stage until Roglic beat his time by just one second. With his team, CCC, folding at the end of the year, Barta doesn’t have a contract for 2021, but is in talks with one or two teams and hopes this result “gets it across the line.”
