🚴 Tadej Pogačar has abandoned the Vuelta a España after crashing late in stage eight while leading the overall standings. He was taken away by ambulance with a shoulder injury.
The Slovenian had been attempting to add the Vuelta to his Tour de France and Giro d’Italia titles, a feat achieved by only a small group of riders.
His withdrawal ends that bid for this year and reshapes the race immediately: Enric Mas took the red leader’s jersey. 🟥
Initial reports said Pogačar could not continue after medical treatment. His recovery timetable and future racing plans were not confirmed.
