Summary

Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin break down Jasper Philipsen's sprint to win Stage 19 of the Vuelta a España over Mads Pedersen in a tough uphill finish. They analyze Alpecin's unusual leadout strategy and how Jonas Vingegaard stole four seconds mid-stage due to an inattentive UAE team, and whether it could affect the final GC standings. Before they go, they preview tomorrow's crucial mountain stage, discussing how it could play out and who is best positioned to take the stage win.

0:00.0	I mean, the leadout was amazing.
0:02.2	Philipson basically, and it was a slow sprint also because until the last 200 meters,
0:08.7	it was slightly uphill and then it flattened out a little bit.
0:11.2	So I would say impressive sprint from Philipson, you can clearly see.
0:17.8	And he also afterwards said in his interview that he's not in great shape during the

1:14.6	There was a sprint point with time bonuses.
1:16.6	Of course, the breakaway takes the six seconds for first.
1:19.6	We're not quite sure what happened, but UAE seemed confused.
1:24.6	Didn't know it was there.
1:25.6	Same thing with Tom Pitcock. And Jonas
