Primoz Roglic won the eighth stage of the Vuelta a España, from Dénia to Xorret de Catì of 165km.

After the usual escape that started far from the finish line, with 30 riders including Damiano Caruso and Antonio Tiberi, the peloton caught up with the last attackers on the demanding final climb of 3.8 km (with average gradients of over 11%). The leader of the general, Lenny Martinez (who loses almost 1'30") is detached, eight are fighting for the success of the day: Roglic beats Remco Evenepoel and Juan Ayuso in the sprint.

For Jumbo Visma the blow is double: in addition to the stage victory there is also the primacy in the general classification with Sepp Kuss.
