S9 Ep158: Stage 15 | Navalmoral de la Mata – El Barraco | Vuelta a España 2021

The Vuelta a España reached its second rest day but the much-anticipated sort out failed to materialise meaning that there’s a surprising wearer of the red jersey as the race goes into its final week.

Richard Moore and Lionel Birnie check in with Daniel Friebe in Spain once again to recap stage 15, which saw a long pursuit match between eventual winner Rafal Majka and Steven Kruijswijk, who chased hard but failed to make any dent in the Pole’s advantage.

We hear from Kruijswijk, weigh up whether there are any cracks in Primoz Roglic’s armour – asking for an eyewitness opinion from Jack Haig and Egan Bernal – and get the low down on Odd Christian Eiking, who continues to hold the race lead. We also hear from Movistar boss Eusebio Unzue, who has been in charge of the team for more than 40 years.

Richard heads to Spain tomorrow to join Daniel for the final week of the race.
