00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 The winners of this team time trial
00:10 are going to be DSM Firminac.
00:13 It's a very beautiful victory.
00:15 It shows that I'm ready for the next three weeks.
00:17 Seb Kost is victorious.
00:22 And Martinez, he's heading for the Maio Rojo.
00:27 Primoz Roglic with total domination.
00:30 He takes the stage victory here in Ducati.
00:32 Joyous to see Seb Kost leading Love World with this red jersey.
00:39 An intense first week ended as it started adverse weather.
00:47 A mudslide a kilometer from the stage nine finale
00:50 paused early the Remco versus Jumbo Visma battle.
00:54 The Dutch team earned two stage wins with Seb Kost in red,
00:57 but potential pitfalls keep them focused.
00:59 I started stepping and I was just slipping.
01:02 Yeah, me too.
01:03 I needed to go completely.
01:04 Us cyclists, we normally make it hard everywhere and anyway.
01:10 And yeah, I had the legs and I went at the end.
01:12 How would you rate week one now?
01:14 It's almost done.
01:15 Week one, how would you rate it?
01:16 Survived.
01:18 Survived.
01:19 Good, very good.
01:20 Enjoying and still being here.
01:23 Remco Evenepoel won on stage three
01:26 before giving up the red jersey.
01:27 The Belgian under severe pressure, something to contemplate.
01:30 It's a shame about the bad day because of the injuries.
01:35 Because otherwise I think I was one of the best too.
01:38 And yeah, I think we're good.
01:41 We have a good position in the overall rankings.
01:45 And we're going to go to the race with good feelings.
01:48 The day after the rest day, batteries hopefully fully charged.
01:55 Not a particularly technical individual time trial,
01:57 just one bump on the course.
01:59 A 26 kilometre traverse around the wide rows of Vallaudet.
02:02 The last chance for the Kronos specialists
02:04 to try and win a stage at La Vuelta.
02:06 Stefan Bissiger, the first to hit the ground riding.
02:20 The Swiss early in setting the first real time to beat,
02:23 around in less than 29 minutes,
02:25 the European champion in the discipline
02:27 with an average speed of 53.4 kilometres per hour.
02:30 Yet Bissiger didn't seem satisfied with his effort.
02:33 It's full focus for Filippo Ganna.
02:38 25.8 kilometres of racing and Ganna is looking to challenge
02:43 the time set and the fastest time set so far of Stefan Bissiger.
02:52 I didn't have the best day.
02:54 Suffering quite a bit.
02:55 Also not hitting my power targets.
02:57 But yeah, hopefully it's going to be all right.
03:00 And we're going to see.
03:01 I don't expect to win, but maybe top five if I'm lucky.
03:04 Second on the stage five after a rare sprint for honours,
03:08 this more Filippo Ganna's wheelhouse.
03:10 The two time world time trial champion quickly over 30 seconds
03:14 ahead of a resigned Lukin Bissiger.
03:16 That only further increased as he passed riders.
03:19 The Italian flying around at 56 kilometres an hour.
03:23 Filippo Ganna, he's going to come across the line in first position.
03:27 Ganna could be going for his first ever La Vuelta stage victory.
03:31 After the first nine days, it's really intensive.
03:36 I suffered a little bit today, but yeah, at the moment I'm happy.
03:42 So we will see if tonight we can celebrate or not.
03:46 Hope for Enios Grenadiers after a tough Vuelta,
03:49 the abandonment of Taimen Aransman and a gear problem further disrupting
03:53 leader Geraint Thomas, the podium out of sight.
03:56 Ganna in the hot seat for a positive twist.
03:58 Mattia Cattaneo was behind Ganna with time to pass information on to
04:06 pseudo quick-set leader Remco Evenepoel warming up as Primoz Roglic prepared to ride.
04:11 The world champion Remco Evenepoel, the aero bullet is underway.
04:21 And like a bullet, he's straight down that starting ramp and he means business.
04:26 At this point, Ganna looked untouchable.
04:31 Primoz Roglic going well, but still 10 seconds down at the first intermediate.
04:35 At this point, Evenepoel a second slower than the Slovene.
04:38 The GC battle within this time trial.
04:41 Jonas Winnegaard not doing well,
04:43 the Dane only ninth and losing 30 seconds to teammate Roglic, let alone chasing down Ganna.
04:49 Alexander Vlasov showing up well, not quicker than Ganna, but into the top 10 overall.
04:54 Roglic looking strong, not fast enough to threaten a stage win, but 40 seconds on Winnegaard,
05:01 along with Sepp Kuss's position, a role change for the two-time reigning Tour de France champion.
05:07 Runner up at the last two editions, Enric Mas, the Movistar rider, finishing more than a minute
05:12 behind Roglic. Now, wait and see, Evenepoel pushing Ganna nervously attentive.
05:19 The time goes from green, it goes to red.
05:24 He's over the 27 minute marker. He's currently provisionally second overall.
05:29 Remco Evenepoel, the aero bullet stops the clock, second overall.
05:35 Remco couldn't win, but the fastest of the GC riders, Sepp Kuss though, fighting to remain in
05:42 red despite finishing 13th, enough to protect the leader's jersey from Marc Soler, a 26 second gap
05:49 over the Spaniard. After a challenging Vuelta, bright light for Enios Grenadiers, Ganna delivering
05:56 a first stage win, the Italian's 27th of his career on the back of a strong world championship
06:01 showing, hunted down by the man who denied him a third world TT crown, Ganna gaining some revenge
06:09 on Remco Evenepoel.
06:10 I'm really happy after the Giro, try to win also here is my dream and my goal. So today I can say
06:25 to be do that. Now we think to end this Vuelta. So we have another two weeks in the front so
06:37 we try to try again maybe in the road race and we like it.
06:42 A six-time Giro stage winner, Ganna's first at La Vuelta. He lost to Remco by 12 seconds
06:52 in Stirling, Scotland, a 28 second swing for victory. Sepp Kuss in red, a fine ride to keep
06:59 the world time trial champion at bay, Evenepoel up to third but still a minute nine seconds from
07:04 the American, Remco though putting 20 seconds on Roglic. Caden Grove still in green, Evenepoel
07:10 second now, the Alpecin-Tekernik sprinter still with a 79 point lead. No change in the polka dot
07:17 jersey, Eduardo Sepovella with challenges to come in the week. Evenepoel back in white as the best
07:24 youngster, Lenny Martinez slips 53 seconds behind, the Frenchman down to fifth overall.
07:30 After the time trial, it's directions Pyrénées, a smooth introduction until the climb into La
07:37 Laguna Negra, six kilometers at almost seven percent with gradients of almost 13-14. Gear
07:43 up for an explosive finale between the favorites for La Vuelta a Crown.
