Summary

In our stage 2 episode from the Vuelta a España we discuss the first bunch sprint of the 2021 race, won by Jasper Philipsen of Alpecin-Fenix, completing their clean sweep of stage wins in the three Grand Tours.

We hear from their sports director, Michel Cornelisse, and from the rider who was second, Fabio Jakobsen. There was a crash with 4.5km to go and we hear from Max Schachmann, the biggest name rider to be caught up in it.
