00:00 (dramatic music)
00:02 (speaking in foreign language)
00:09 - Woo hoo!
00:12 Lenny Martinez, the youngest wearer of a Grand Tour jersey,
00:16 but recognizing the power of La Vuelta contenders.
00:19 A taste of the intriguing battle
00:20 between Remco Evenpoel and Jumbo Visma.
00:23 Remco did admit that he didn't even know
00:25 the win was on the cards,
00:26 but the Belgian champion did make sure
00:28 Jumbo Visma didn't drop him.
00:30 - But we also talked about that we could go
00:34 on the last climb, so, but there,
00:36 Remco was super strong.
00:38 I think for us it was almost more about following
00:41 than attacking.
00:43 - It's easy, I just didn't know we were fighting
00:45 with a victory.
00:46 I thought it was a group in front or a few guys.
00:49 I was not very, kind of surprised by Roglic's sprint
00:55 because it wasn't really fast,
00:57 but it's very frustrating because I felt very good.
01:00 - Sepp Kuss taking center stage,
01:05 a first leader's jersey for the American.
01:08 - Oh, really, really nice experience.
01:11 I saw my wife before the stage
01:12 and she said she didn't even recognize me
01:14 with all these new colors.
01:18 - Jumbo Visma might decide to keep the pressure
01:20 on Evenpoel on a long and winding stage.
01:23 The weather could potentially play a big part
01:25 in proceedings.
01:27 (upbeat music)
01:29 - It's gonna be a nervous stage
01:30 and it might take a while for the breakaway to go
01:33 and the longer it takes,
01:35 sometimes the better riders that can be in it.
01:37 So if someone dangerous is there,
01:38 then we might have to chase.
01:40 But normally I think it's a good day for the break.
01:44 (upbeat music)
01:53 - Stage nine and the day before the rest day.
01:56 Only two classified climbs compared to Saturday's five,
01:59 but a challenging uphill finish.
02:01 The weather could also play its part
02:03 with reports of strong cross tailwinds
02:06 blowing in the early parts.
02:07 (upbeat music)
02:11 A lot of movement on the road
02:19 after a hundred kilometers of mostly flat terrain,
02:22 despite the fractured groups and chaotic crosswinds,
02:25 the peloton restored some order.
02:27 Up the road though, a first for La Vuelta 2023,
02:30 eight escapades creating an eight minute lead.
02:33 Happy to have in the break, Ruben Fernandez,
02:36 the confidence rider traversing through his native region.
02:40 (speaking in foreign language)
02:45 (speaking in foreign language)
02:48 - Neither the local Mauritian nor the rest were GC threats,
03:00 but hoping for stage glory,
03:01 not the first breaks for Leonard Camna or Matios Obrero,
03:05 but yet to earn a top 10 stage finish.
03:07 Fractures in the peloton on a couple of kilometers
03:13 lined with olive trees bending under the wind's pressure.
03:16 White Jersey, Lenny Martinez and what poles
03:18 of Bahrain victorious, the only two from the GC top 10
03:22 who failed to join the front split.
03:23 - Four groups from this helicopter shot
03:27 as we now have a big race on our hands.
03:31 And we've always said that the attention has to be 100%
03:36 on a day like today, when the wind blows,
03:39 it can play absolute chaos with the peloton.
03:43 If you find yourself on the wrong side of a split
03:46 as the echelons form,
03:48 this could be you losing Love Welter overall here.
03:52 - The other consequence was to see the gap drop dramatically
03:57 reduced by half, four minutes behind the leaders
04:00 with less than 70 kilometers to go.
04:06 Yet the big drive and push from French teams
04:09 saw a young star remain in the picture.
04:12 - Job well done from Groupama, FDG, Arkea,
04:19 Samsic and Total Energy.
04:21 They've put Lenny Martinez, the rider who sits third overall
04:25 in the general classification, back into contention
04:28 for the GC.
04:30 - With 30 kilometers to go,
04:33 looking good for a breakaway win,
04:35 Jumbo-Visma not looking to upset them
04:37 as they did Rui Costa yesterday, five minutes the gap.
04:40 The weather was predicted to have a say,
04:45 the conditions at the finish forcing the organizers
04:47 to take GC times 50 meters before the 2K banner.
04:51 As the leaders headed for the intermediate sprint,
04:56 problems for Daniel Navarro of Burgess BH,
04:59 as well as John Baranet Chea of Caja Rual,
05:03 able to recover as the gradients started to burn.
05:07 - Leonard Kemner of Bora-Hansgrohe
05:09 with five kilometers remaining
05:12 is going in pursuit of a stage victory here in La Vuelta.
05:15 - The German kicking for stage success
05:18 with only Mateo Sobrero able to follow.
05:21 The Italian though, 15 seconds to make up.
05:24 Jao Almeida elected to make a move
05:32 to try and claw back some seconds.
05:34 The UAE leader followed by Bora-Hansgrohe's
05:36 Alexander Vlasov, a dynamic last three kilometers.
05:41 Roglic on the attack to put further pressure
05:45 on Remco Evenpoel, but at the head of the race,
05:47 Kemner realizing he was all alone and waltzing to victory.
05:52 - He was a part of those eight riders
05:55 all the way to the Alta Caravaca de la Cruz.
05:58 And Kemner of Bora-Hansgrohe
06:01 will become a part of that elusive club.
06:04 Kemner with his arms aloft comes to the top of the climb.
06:07 Kemner, a stage victor in the Giro d'Italia,
06:10 the Tour de France, La Vuelta a Espana,
06:13 and he becomes the 107th rider to take victories
06:16 in all three Grand Tours.
06:26 Third time lucky for Kemner in a breakaway,
06:28 the Bora-Hansgrohe rider joining
06:31 that precious group of competitors.
06:33 Just the 107th man to win a stage
06:35 at each of the three Grand Tours.
06:38 Ninth overall the Giro earlier this year
06:41 and now a stage win on La Vuelta.
06:43 What a season it's been for the 26-year-old.
06:46 - We had like echelons in the beginning.
06:50 I tried to make it through the echelons as good as possible
06:54 without like spending too much energy
06:56 because I already saw it after 15K when everything split.
06:59 And we come together at the climb again.
07:02 And then I was in front when the group ran
07:04 that I could just join with having like still a lot
07:07 of my power in the tank.
07:08 And then, yeah, in the end it was really tricky
07:11 because the climb is always like going up and down,
07:15 up and down.
07:16 And it was hard to find the moment to drop the others.
07:20 But I'm really happy that I could find it
07:21 and that I took the win.
07:23 - Kamner reached the Collado de la Cruz de Carabaca summit
07:27 first ahead of Sobrero and Ozzy Chris Hamilton,
07:30 Ruben Fernandez sixth on his home stage.
07:33 Sepp Kuss remains in red.
07:35 Roglic's late burst didn't garner anything
07:38 at the same time posted as Remco Evenpoel.
07:40 Caden Grove still in the points jersey.
07:44 Emmanuel Gebre Xavier picked up 39 points
07:47 at the breakaway, the Ethiopian into the top 10.
07:51 Eduardo Sepúlveda clings on to the polka dot jersey,
07:55 the Argentine with just one point over Evenpoel.
07:58 Lenny Martinez in white,
08:00 but relieved to remain third overall.
08:03 Tomorrow, the first rest day
08:04 before Tuesday's individual time trial.
08:06 Until then, a time to rest and reflect for all.
