00:00 Back to the mountains, the hardest day yet. Stage 6 of La Vuelta 2023, heading up El Pico
00:10 de Buitre, the first time since 2019. Primoz Roglic reminded of the challenge four years
00:16 ago.
00:17 It was a hard climb. I mean, you need the legs for sure to be with the best ones on
00:23 the top. But I also saw from the video and then I remember a bit, it's quite illegal.
00:30 It's all the time a bit up and down.
00:32 And we hear that Remco Evenepoel would like to let the jersey go. What if it's a rider
00:37 from Jumbo-Visma who takes it?
00:40 I would take it if he let it go. But I think he doesn't want to give it to me in that case.
00:47 A tremendous and treacherous outing for the peloton. The favourites focused on the GC.
00:51 A chance for the likes of Bernal and Bardet, after losing time, stages the focus.
00:56 I blew my tyre at 5km from the finish. It's probably bad for me. Now I'm back to the
01:04 real goal of this Vuelta, to be on the attack on the mountain stage, which suits me.
01:07 It's a pretty hard climb. I think with good legs and good sensations, all climbs are beautiful.
01:16 But we'll see how we feel here.
01:19 183km from La Bau d'Aocho to the Observatorio Astrofisico de Jabelambre. There lies the
01:28 Pico de Buetre, long stretches of 15% gradients. Remco Evenepoel doesn't want to stay in red,
01:33 but hopes for a team win.
01:35 It's going to be a pretty tough start. A lot of interest for the breakaway. We just have
01:41 to be there up front in the start and just try to find the perfect rider.
01:44 Remco, public about his intention to lose the Mayo Rojo. No wonder early movement.
01:55 Yet an early blow for UAE Team Emirates leader Juan Ayuso. Teammate Jay Vine crashing out
02:01 today. A similar fate to one-time red jersey DSM's Lorenzo Melessi.
02:06 A race within a race, the stage honours and the other between the GC contenders. Nearly
02:11 30 riders up the road, very much focused on the former.
02:16 Jumbo-Visma with a strong five in the break including Koes, Franek and Walter. Not ideal
02:21 for Evenepoel, neither was the abandonment of teammate Andrea Baggioli. Rumours of illness
02:26 at Pseudo-Quick-Step making the Belgian potentially vulnerable.
02:32 Lennie Martinez up top, the 20-year-old into the virtual lead at La Vuelta. Yet the Groupama
02:37 rider with a host of big names to contend with. Marc Soler and Mika Landa hoping to
02:41 provide a first Spanish success since stage 7 last year.
02:45 70k to go, a near six minute gap. Unrepresented in the breakaway, Ineos and Movistar gave
02:50 chase.
03:01 The peloton behind is split into two distinctive groups and this is a crucial point for any
03:07 riders who might be finding themselves caught out on the wrong side.
03:13 And within 30k, the gap tumbled to two minutes. Filippo Ganna was second yesterday in the
03:18 sprint but the ruler are more in his comfort house today, setting a hell of a pace. The
03:23 double world time trial champion blowing up the peloton with 40k from the climax.
03:32 Seconds fought for at Torrejas. With the leaders jersey up for grabs, plenty of interest in
03:37 bonuses. Lennie Martinez and Marc Soler focused but not alone.
03:42 We're around 500 metres to that intermediate sprint.
03:48 Oya Lascarno is trying to take these bonus seconds away to help protect things for Enric
03:53 Mas. Marc Michael Storer is there as they round this fast left hand turn. Here is Sepedra
04:00 and his teammate Bartheleau at the back. Also at the back here is Felix Engelhardt. And
04:06 here goes Soler. It's close on the line. You see that Soler and Lascarno, the two Spanish
04:12 riders, are lunch for the line here in Torrejas.
04:16 The gap around 3 minutes 40 as they reach the foot of the monstrous ascent. The protagonists
04:22 of the day able to focus on the stage honours and fight for the leaders red jersey.
04:28 Over the first 3k, the initial gradient may have split the group a bit but little change
04:33 in the gap. Riding for Lennie Martinez, Michael Storer alert behind the teammates of Remco
04:39 Evenpoel, Sudho quickstep attempted to control the red jersey group. Around 15 riders in
04:44 both the break and the peloton, the escapades with just 5k to go.
04:54 Here goes Arno Rubio, the stage winner in the Giro d'Italia earlier on this season.
05:01 Arno Rubio is trying to go in pursuit of a stage here in La Vuelta.
05:06 A counter to Rubio's work brewing though, are they Lennie Martinez and Sep Kuss on the
05:12 move and then the first major attack. Primoz Roglic accelerating, Evenpoel unable to cling
05:19 to his wheel.
05:20 A double drop from Jumbo Visma, Sep Kuss feeling strong as an ox, the American going out for
05:27 the win.
05:28 Evenpoel quickly losing 30 seconds as Jumbo Visma organise a round Roglic, a 3 time winner
05:33 backed by Winnegard and previous escapee Atelier Walter. But it was their teammate who was
05:39 in a world of his own.
05:46 As
06:13 Kuss took early adulation, Lennie Martinez saw an opportunity, the young Groupama rider
06:18 kicking to the top of the GC.
06:41 Remco dug deep, losing 32 seconds but importantly remaining ahead of Roglic and Winnegard in
06:48 the GC.
06:53 Sep Kuss soloing Jumbo Visma to their first stage win of this edition, the American adding
06:58 a second Vuelta stage win to his previous one in 2019.
07:04 Only missing out on the Mayo Rojo by 8 seconds, but not enough to dampen Kuss' day in the
07:10 spotlight.
07:11 "It was an incredibly hard stage. We wanted to try and go in the breakaway, just test
07:28 quick step. We knew it would be a hard day to control so that was the primary objective.
07:35 And then the whole climb I was just enjoying the environment that we have in the Vuelta.
07:45 It's always a special race for me."
07:49 The 28 year old's first individual success since his one and only Tour de France stage
07:54 win two years ago, 26 seconds clear of the rest but 8 seconds from red.
08:00 That means Lennie Martinez will wear the Mayo Rojo. Roglic dropped Evenpoel, but the Belgian
08:06 limited his losses to stay ahead of the Slovene, the reigning champion 5 seconds ahead of Winnegard,
08:11 11 from Roglic.
08:17 The category leaders, Martinez at 20, the youngest leader of a Grand Tour since Henri
08:22 Corne in 1904.
08:24 Caden Groves in green and King of the Mountain Eduardo Sepúlveda retain their jerseys.
08:32 Martinez had worn the white jersey on behalf of Evenpoel, now he'll wear red by right
08:37 and hand white to Remco.
08:41 Over the first six days of La Vuelta, the man in white has also led the overall race.
08:48 The GC touch paper lit ahead of the second longest stage tomorrow, Vamos a Utiel, en
08:53 route to the coast, the sprinters reactivated.
08:57 the race.
