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.
