The Vuelta and the Tour of Britain

In the latest Telegraph Cycling Podcast, Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe discuss the latest twists and turns in the Vuelta a España, with Alberto Contador emerging as the favourite just weeks after sustaining a broken leg at the Tour de France.

We also look ahead to the Tour of Britain and the long-awaited showdown between the world’s two fastest sprinters, Mark Cavendish and Marcel Kittel, with Daniel pointing out that they haven’t faced each other for over a year, since the Champs-Élysées on the final day of the 2013 Tour de France. And a remarkable statistic: Cavendish has never beaten Kittel in a head-to-head sprint.
