Summary

It was back to work for the sprinters on stage 13 of the Vuelta a España and in The Cycling Podcast we discuss a lead-out that appeared to go wrong for Deceuninck-Quick-step before going spectacularly right, with Florian Sénéchal taking the win.

Tom Pidcock tells us what happened to split the bunch in the closing stages, with Matteo Trentin and Bert Van Lerberghe describing how the sprint unfolded.

And we discuss Jack Haig, the Australian who sits sixth overall, within two minutes of the two time winner and favourite, Primož Roglič. Ahead of a mountainous final week, and leading a strong Bahrain Victorious team, Haig and others tell us about his chances of finishing on the podium, perhaps even going for the win.

Today we are in Villanueva de la Serena. Where are you Daniel? Well Chaps, I am in. I better check this actually because I'm getting mixed up.

0:41.6

We're in Villanueva de la Serena. We're in the region, Richard, of the Autonomous Community of Extrema Dora, which is very big and very empty and very hot.

0:55.6

Particularly today, it's extremely hot. It has been... well it was hot yesterday in Andalucía wasn't it?

1:01.6

I am currently enjoying a post-day's beverage and some of the staff in the Cafeteria where I've taken up residents and

1:09.6

have been looking at me aghast that I want to sit outside. I am in the shade but they suggested that I go indoors and I'm taking advantage of the air conditioning but I haven't done that.

1:20.6

Mad dogs and Englishmen, you're working your way up the country a little bit. You're about a quarter of the way up Spain at the moment.

1:27.6

I look at this dog watching here but you're working your way back up north where I'll be joining you on Monday.

1:34.6

Correct, Richard. We're also here with Lionel Bernie, hello Lionel. Evening Richard, even Daniel? Not what's the weather like in Not Watford?

1:40.6

It's a bit overcast. It's not been a great summer here in England really.

Lionel's also been worn not to stay outside because it's too cold.

2:08.6

It's actually a can. It's a can but I will be disposing of it in the waste zone later.

2:14.6

I won't be just tossing it through some car window.

2:18.6

I say it's a topic of conversation this morning because a few people noticed that Kiel Rhinon of Trek Seger Frado,

2:24.6

a hefty fine yesterday or two hefty fines in fact, where they each... I think they were each 550 Swiss francs, which is sort of...

2:36.6

Only 500 Swiss francs, so a thousand euros. No, sorry, a thousand euros. A thousand Swiss francs in total.
