   Number 2: The Vuelta has a New Sprint King! Visma Masterclass | Stage 11 Breakdown

   Matthew Brennan is having a fantastic first Grand Tour. Stage 11 takes the race 153.8km from Cartagena to Lorca on a mostly flat day, with just one climb standing between the peloton and another expected bunch sprint. The breakaway gets clear early, but Visma-Lease a Bike never let them build much of an advantage, keeping the escapees firmly within reach. The only real test comes with 40km to go as the race hits the Alto de Aledo. The pace ramps up, riders are dropped, and there are a few attacks, but the main sprinters survive, setting up another showdown in Lorca. And once Visma hit the front in the closing kilometres, the outcome looks almost inevitable. Wout van Aert leads out Matthew Brennan perfectly, and the young Brit delivers again, comfortably beating Bryan Coquard to take his third stage win of the Vuelta. We get into Brennan's hat-trick, Visma's brilliant lead-out, the late climb and attacks, and why the team continues to look almost unstoppable in the sprints. And we also hear from Ned Boulting on the ground Stage 1 of the Tour of Britain. Pete Kennaugh and David Millar break down Stage 11 of the Vuelta a España. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🏅 For The Love Of Cycling is presented by Science in Sport, a pioneer in endurance fuelling: Backed by science.

   Number 3: Stage 3 ABANDONED! Vuelta a España Stage 3 Breakdown

   The Vuelta heads into the mountains, but Stage 3 ends in extraordinary circumstances. The 174km route from Gruissan to Font-Romeu was set to provide the first real mountain test of the race, with the riders finishing at almost 2,000 metres above sea level. Instead, a brutal hailstorm on the final climb forces the race to be neutralised before the decision is eventually made to cancel the stage altogether. We get into the chaotic scenes as the weather closes in, riders are forced to take shelter and Tadej Pogačar plays a key role in bringing the racing to a halt. And our very own David Millar has his own story to tell, having cycled through the hailstorm to get to the race and watch the riders go by, only to get caught right in the middle of the chaos himself. Ned Boulting and Pete Kennaugh break down Stage 3 of the Vuelta. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🏅 For The Love Of Cycling is presented by Science in Sport, a pioneer in endurance fuelling: Backed by science.

   Number 5: Pogačar Survives a NEAR-MISS Scare on Gravel Thriller | Vuelta Stage 6 Breakdown

   Pogačar is making this Vuelta look very difficult for everyone else. Stage 6 takes the race 177.5km from Alcossebre to Castelló, with a punchy route that builds towards a brutal finale, including a gravel section with gradients reaching 20%. And, once again, the red jersey decides he wants to race it like a one-day Classic. With UAE driving the pace and the break beginning to disappear, Pogačar launches his attack on the final climb and quickly opens a gap over the rest of the GC contenders. He hits the gravel alone and starts pulling away, but Enric Mas refuses to let him disappear. The Spaniard produces a huge chase and eventually makes contact with Pogačar near the top. The two then work together over the final kilometres, with Mas putting himself in position to move into second overall. But there is a heart-in-mouth moment on the descent as Pogačar runs off the road after misjudging a corner, coming to a complete stop before getting back on his bike and rejoining Mas. Pogačar still has enough left to beat him in the final sprint and claim his third stage victory in just six days. We get into Pogačar's attack, Mas' brilliant fightback, the chaos of the gravel and that near-crash on the descent, before looking at what another victory means for the GC race. Ned Boulting and Pete Kennaugh break down Stage 6 of the Vuelta a España. --------------------------------- 🏅 For The Love Of Cycling is presented by Science in Sport, a pioneer in endurance fuelling: Backed by science.
