Summary

The Vuelta a España resumed after the second rest day in Cantabria in the north of Spain with a final stage for the sprinters, won by the man in the green jersey, Fabio Jakobsen.

In tonight's episode we hear from Jakobsen's leadout man, Bert Van Lerberghe, and from Joe Dombrowski, whose team tried to distance Jakobsen on a climb.

We look ahead to Wednesday's crucial stage to Lagos de Covadonga, one of the Vuelta's iconic climbs, with Alberto Contador, Robert Gesink, David de la Cruz, Ion Izagirre and Luis Ángel Maté.

And we meet Florian Vermeersch, who, as well as studying for a history degree at university is riding the Vuelta for Lotto-Soudal.
