Stage 6 | Mora de Rubielos – Ares del Maestrat | Vuelta a España 2019

Join Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe in Spain as they discuss an action-packed stage of the Vuelta a España, which saw the red jersey change hands and several high profile riders crash out.

They talk about the race for the stage, which saw Jesus Herrada succeed where his brother Jose fell short yesterday, and the red jersey switch across to Dylan Teuns.

We have further despatches from our two diarists, Nick Schultz and James Knox, and hear from Addy Engels about how Jumbo-Visma’s race is shaping up.
