episode 182: The Grandest Tour stage 27: Butter pies all round
The Vuelta a España tackled the fearsome Angliru and in this episode Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Lizzy Banks review a thrilling final five kilometres that again changed the complexion of the overall race.
The Angliru belonged to Preston's Hugh Carthy of EF Pro Cycling, who attacked twice on the climb to clinch his first Grand Tour stage victory.
Behind that, Primoz Roglic was unable to respond the attacks and although he was looked after brilliantly by his Jumbo-Visma teammate Sepp Kuss lost the red jersey to Richard Carapaz again. Where does this leave the Vuelta now, with the time trial to come on Tuesday?
We also hear from AG2R's Harry Tanfield, who was the last man over the line at the Angliru, about a difficult couple of stages in the mountains.
