The Vuelta has turned completely on its head. Stage 8 was supposed
to be a relatively straightforward 171km run from Puçol to Xeraco,
but with 32km still to race, everything changed when race leader
Tadej Pogačar went down hard in the middle of the peloton. Pogačar,
who had held the red jersey since winning the opening time trial in
Monaco, was left sitting on the road as the race doctors and UAE
team staff attended to him. With deep cuts to his left shoulder and
face, he eventually left the race in an ambulance with his arm in a
sling, bringing his Vuelta to a sudden and dramatic end. It's
Pogačar's first abandonment from a Grand Tour and his first DNF
since 2023, and it completely changes the shape of the race. Enric
Mas takes over as the new race leader, although the Spaniard
chooses not to wear the red jersey on the podium out of respect for
Pogačar. What does this mean for the Vuelta podium, and what does
it mean for Pogačar’s goals of winning the big 3? Ned Boulting
breaks down Stage 8 of the Vuelta a España.
