Summary

The latest episode of The Grandest Tour looks at two Grand Tours, with the latest from the Vuelta a España, with stage 14 won by Tim Wellens, and a look ahead to next year’s Tour de France, with the 2021 route announced on Sunday evening.

Richard Moore and Lionel Birnie are joined by François Thomazeau, who picks out the most interesting stages of next year’s Tour and describes the route as the most traditional in fifteen years.

From the Vuelta we hear from our audio diarist, Nick Schultz, who also weighs into the debate on bike changes in time trials.
