episode 181: The Grandest Tour stage 26: Waiting no more
As the Grandest Tour reaches stage 26 – and the Vuelta a España reaches stage 11 – Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Lizzy Banks look back on a day in the mountains that was won by the Frenchman David Gaudu while the overall favourites appeared to keep their powder dry for Sunday’s finish at the Angliru.
We hear from our audio diarist, Nick Schultz of Mitchelton-Scott, whose team leader, Esteban Chaves, had a tough day. Lizzy asks what has happened to Team Ineos, and why aren’t Jumbo-Visma capitalising on their weakness. And we return to the controversy of stage 10, when the race jury couldn’t decide whether Richard Carapaz or Primoz Roglic should wear the race leader’s red jersey.
