The Cycling Podcast / Stage 5 | Tarancón – Albacete

The peloton spent most of the fifth stage anticipating crosswinds which never blew but there was still late drama on the approach to Albacete.

We hear from Kenny Elissonde, who was talking down his chances of taking the red jersey before the stage, and discuss the crash which cost Rein Taaramae another day in the overall lead. We also hear from Pavel Sivakov about the crosswinds and Matt Winston on DSM’s hopes after Romain Bardet was caught in the crash and lost more than 12 minutes. We also discuss Jasper Philipsen’s second stage win and the brewing battle for the green jersey with Fabio Jakobsen.
