Tadej Pogacar, the Slovenian leader of the general classification, has withdrawn from the Vuelta a España after a serious crash during the eighth stage with 32 kilometers to go. The incident occurred on a straight section of road before the Barx mountain pass, where Pogacar made an unusual move to the right and collided with another cyclist.
He suffered a clavicle injury and a badly bruised left arm, and was unable to continue due to severe pain. Medical staff attended to him by the side of the road, but Pogacar decided to abandon the race.
