The latest Cycling Podcast comes from the summit of La Pandera as the 14th stage of the Vuelta a España was won by Poland's Rafal Majka. Richard Moore and Fran Reyes report on Majka's victory and the battle behind between the overall favourites. Esteban Chaves, Vincenzo Nibali and Alberto Contador all had a go but Chris Froome's red jersey didn't look to be in any danger. Of Froome's group it was the Colombian Miguel Angel Lopez who was most impressive, jumping away to finish second on the stage. We hear from Chaves, from Wilco Kelderman, who moved up to third overall, from Lopez and his director, Bruno Cenghialta, who insists that Fabio Aru remains leader of the Astana team "until December 31". And we hear from Daniel Friebe about his earlier, illicit attempt to climb La Pandera. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Rapha and Science in Sport.
