00:00 We are unstoppable, unstoppable, unstoppable, unstoppable.
00:10 On to stage 14 of the Vuelta and it feels like the start of a new race
00:15 because yesterday Jumbo-Visma crushed their rivals on the road to the Tourmalet.
00:19 Jonas Wingergaard leading in Sepp Kurs and Primoz Roglic to put their team in total control.
00:27 1, 2, 3 in the stage, 1, 2, 3 on GC. Was that the plan or is it better than the plan?
00:33 I think that's even better than the plan.
00:35 Yeah, it's very strange. It's not really usual that this happens, but first things first.
00:44 And like I said, today, if you can say the Vuelta just started a bit in the mountains,
00:49 and still a lot of things to come.
00:54 Remco Evenepoel's GC bid ended as he lost 27 minutes, but the Belgian believes in better days ahead.
01:00 Yesterday it wasn't, but I think today is a new day, new opportunities, new style of racing for me.
01:09 So let's hope it can be a perfect day and a perfect job today.
01:14 Geraint Thomas is another GC hopeful turned stage hunter and he says today could suit the breakaway.
01:23 Keep trying as we have. Yesterday I felt okay, but then that second climb, it was obvious.
01:29 Well, there wasn't even a breakaway. It was going to be a GC race.
01:33 I think with the flatter start, I think it would still probably go on the climb,
01:37 but I think the breakaway has more of a chance today.
01:40 The Polkadot jersey currently belongs to Wingergaard, but Michael Stohrer took valuable points yesterday
01:46 in the hopes of winning it for a second time after 2021.
01:52 I thought it was a good idea to pick up some points because maybe in the last week that also becomes a goal.
01:59 I put in a lot of effort on those climbs to be with the group,
02:02 so it's not so much harder to do that little bit more to get those points, so I went for it.
02:08 Today we leave France and head back to Spain, going from Sauvetier de Béarn to La Rapelagio,
02:14 hosting its first ever stage finish on La Vuelta.
02:17 Two Hawk Category climbs, Cote de Roser and Puerto de la Rau, before the final drag at Puerto de Balagua.
02:23 After their efforts yesterday, Jumbo-Visma will no doubt be happy to sit back and let the breakaway go for glory.
02:29 Well, there happened to be a rider from Sauvetier de Béarn in the peloton today, Cyril Bart,
02:46 who was given a very warm welcome just before the official starts.
02:49 Unsurprisingly, once the flag dropped, it was fast and furious,
02:55 with lots of riders and teams trying to make the breakaway.
02:58 Evan Apoul, in particular, was looking lively.
03:01 The average speed well above 50km/h, with the peloton all strung out.
03:06 Evan Apoul kept trying and finally managed to drag a group clear after around 30k.
03:12 The Belgian champion clearly keen to bounce back after yesterday's misadventures.
03:16 A group of around 25 heading to the tough first climb, the Cote de la Roser.
03:21 Evan Apoul was joined by plenty of strong climbers,
03:24 including Damiano Caruso, Romain Bardet and the Stage 9 winner Leonard Kemner.
03:29 Stora was also up there in his quest to collect King of the Mountains points.
03:36 Evan Apoul had a team-mate in Mattia Cattaneo, and the Italian soon went to work shredding the front group.
03:42 Back in the peloton, meanwhile, it was UAE Tim Emmer at pacing, rather than Jumbo Visma,
03:47 with Wingergaard just sitting in front of Kuss and Roglic.
03:50 UAE perhaps thinking of teeing something up for Juan Ayuso.
03:54 There were 15 KOM points available at the top of the first climb, and Evan Apoul decided to help himself.
04:03 Only Bardet was able to stay in the Belgian's wheel, and they were followed by Stora.
04:07 Evan Apoul and Bardet then forging on in the descents.
04:12 By the time they reached the second climb, Bardet and Evan Apoul had a lead of a minute
04:26 on a group of chasers from the original breakaway.
04:32 And the gap remained steady on the Poitou de l'Herault.
04:35 The Belgian and the Frenchman now a minute clear of Stora,
04:38 who seemed to be looking for a little bit of support.
04:41 The peloton, now led by Jumbo Visma, were at 4 minutes and 30 seconds.
04:46 [Music]
04:49 The Belgian rider from the Soudal team, who with that race, that strength that characterises him,
04:55 is recovering sensations on the way back after the very hard blow he took on the day yesterday.
05:01 He will also pass the first one through this port, he will fight for the stage victory,
05:05 and he will also fight for the leadership of the mountain classification.
05:08 Jumbo Visma were able to contain a couple of attacks from Ayuso,
05:13 and the pace soon dropped in the bunch, with the two leaders soaring away at the front.
05:17 This wouldn't turn out to be a GC day.
05:20 Stora also gave up the chase and was joined by Lennart van Eetveldt and Jonathan Castroviejo.
05:28 They still had a few minutes over the peloton.
05:30 Evan Apoul and Bardet embarking on the final climb,
05:35 knowing that they would go head to head for stage honours.
05:42 The Belgian champion continuing to set the tempo as they wound their way uphill,
05:46 and eventually it all became too much for Bardet.
05:49 Remco going solo.
05:53 And this is it. Romain Bardet can't follow the former world champion,
06:00 and this is going for the race winning move.
06:03 Remco Evan Apoul shakes his head, he can't quite believe it.
06:12 Remarkable, Remco Evan Apoul has returned.
06:15 It's been a big explosion across the mountains, from France back into Spain.
06:22 It's almost disbelief, and Remco Evan Apoul, the Belgian champion,
06:27 takes the victory at the top of the Porte de Balagua.
06:30 An emotional Evan Apoul bouncing back in the best way possible after his miserable 13th stage.
06:38 The 23-year-old grabs his second win of the race,
06:41 and for what it's worth, he recovers over eight minutes in the GC.
06:44 He also takes the polka dot jersey from Winkegaar.
06:47 Evan Apoul with his 12th victory of 2023.
06:51 Yesterday was a very difficult day, also the evening.
06:56 Couldn't sleep too much, had a very bad night, a lot of negative thoughts in my head.
07:04 Today I woke up and I told to myself, just go for it, make the best of it.
07:08 I did a recon of it and I knew perfectly how the climbs were,
07:12 how hard they were because it was a super tough stage.
07:15 But I think, yeah, just super nice to take a second stage win.
07:21 Evan Apoul moves on to 49 career wins after crossing the line over a minute clear of Bardet,
07:27 with the main favourites at 8 minutes 22.
07:31 No changes overall, with Kuss still just over a minute and a half clear of his teammates Roglic and Winkegaar.
07:37 Evan Apoul jumps up to 15th, but he's still 19 minutes back.
07:41 Caden Groves has a big lead in the points classification.
07:46 And Evan Apoul is the new king of the mountains.
07:50 He took a maximum haul today of 43 points and now leads Stora by 24.
07:56 Ayuso remains the best young rider by just under 3 minutes from Kian Utterbrooks.
08:01 We round out week 2 with a punchy outing from Pamplona to Leckenberry.
08:08 There shouldn't be much GC movement, but we can expect fireworks between the stage contenders
08:13 before a well-earned rest day on Monday.
