BRUTAL FINISH! 😮 | La Vuelta a España Stage 13 Highlights | Eurosport Cycling

[Music] stage 13 of Love Welter a tough a day you'd be hard pushed to find yes we've had big breakaways but yet again there was a sterling effort to make sure you were up the road cuz this was potentially going to be two for the price of one on this day a GC battle raging behind a high quality Breakaway with the terrain absolutely begging those to go up the road well we cut the cordons and got ourselves off an underway with a a little bit of dampness but it did not indeed cool down the proceedings it was white hot from the very start desolation p and carth but just look at the altimetry climbing again out of the back door Keller climbs up for grabs an intermediate Sprint but the big kicker at the end to an Caris itself with ramps of 15 and 18% was to be feared well what was amongst the first mov as Mark Solair Evergreen Breakaway Rider also up the road and the Gap started to increase to become a very very large one the green jersey was up front and the men with the green sleeves to cast on ag2 La mondal looking after Ben okona were doing much of the duty well that burden was taken over by indeed movar a little bit later on as our Breakaway sailed up the road all 23 of them carts was yet again instilled early mountains points went to White vanard who shared the mountains lead at the beginning of the day with indeed Adam Yates was he really looking for mountains points the answer was yes if they're there why not take them well it started to thin down just a little Mara Schmidt was up there campat W vanart and indeed Solair was constantly just baiting and indeed determined to get in the break likewise the Canadian Champion woods so it's a selection gradual but certain amongst the 23 it looked to be U Emirates day with Vine MCN and cair all battling for position cair himself in sacrificial mode it seems and out to deny maybe lard some more Mountains points he'd already taken the first two climbs would he take the third of the day it was an extraordinarily good day for vanhart a bad day it turned out for U team Emirates on The Descent both BR mnel and indeed Jay Vine found themselves in trouble Vine less injured BR MCN very lucky to have gone between the uprights on the barriers cut but indeed still remounted and finished the day M Star were doing the chasing at this point called for by mass the pace would he put any of the main Rivals for the GC to the sword that was one battle this one was raging up front now it was the turn a Schmid to impose himself the Swiss Champion rolled off joined of course by the Canadian Champion Woods is 37 years of age turns 38 in October and he sailed up this mountain like he absolutely owned it not many riders had done a Recon of the course but they still imposed themselves and dug very very deep none deeper than Woods who was heading for an incredible Victory making it indeed three Welter wins to his name but further down the mountain there was a GC battle raging and suddenly M Star found themselves with no resources left save for Mass himself who was on the back wheel of Primus RIT whose team Red Bull slung him up the mountain sep cus tried to stay with it and away they went as they peddled on and woods was finishing the job he'd set himself to do in brilliant fashion all credit to the man with the rather groovy Maple Leaf upon his bread Canadian Champion absolutely delighted and totally [Music] exhausted fabulous after 4 hours and 19 minutes in the saddle meanwhile Mass having burned down his entire team would he get fried himself same question we were asking about Ben o Conor the man in the red jersey there was a distance between him and indeed the main players or Rivals including ml Lander who had a very good day day Mass well he had all the intentions and put his team on the front to do much of the work but it was a Magic Carpet Ride for Red Bull Bor handcar and indeed Primos rogich he kicked on gapped mass and indeed started to close down at least in terms of the time gap between himself and Ben o Conor with every single pedal stroke coming home along with Dylan turns had been in the original Breakaway suddenly the clock was counting behind rogich what would be the Gap well over 3 minutes at the beginning of the day but that was about to be chopped down Big Time chopping into the mountain as well was Richard carass finishing along with enri mass and then we waited for Ben oon to come home still in red at the end of the day and a credit to him phenominal riding by our leader well he asked what the time Gap was he was told a minute and 55 but that means he still has an overall lead of a minute and 21 as for our stage winner Woods delight and for all neutrals as well super super athlete Joy unbridled Woods taking it ahead of Schmidt Solair om man vanat L Riser par bisara Vito and Le all in the break of course big smile from the Canadian and huge Applause as well for Ward what an animator M Jersey is his now nearest rival to him Jay V on 23 adames still on 22 but the POG do belong to the man who also owns green but for that in red Ben o Conor minute and 21 to Primos rogich now 3 minutes and one to enrik mass rogl the big winner of the day but Beno Conor still in red defiantly so so what of Tomorrow stage 14 villablino it's a downhill run for home that may well indeed offer up something to a breakaway and the gaps shouldn't be too big amongst the GC but entertainment is absolutely guaranteed you know what to find it it's right here [Music]
