- Roglic eats into the overall lead of Richard Carapaz
- Carthy slips back to fourth with Martin into third
Primoz Roglic pulled off a brilliant late attack to win stage eight of the Vuelta a España on Wednesday and eat into the overall lead of Richard Carapaz.
Defending champion Roglic fought out a fascinating duel with Carapaz inside the final kilometre of the 164km mountain stage from Logrono to Alto de Moncalvillo and came out on top, crossing the line 13secs ahead of the Ecuadorean to collect his second stage win of this year’s race. Roglic also earned 10 bonus seconds for the stage win to help his pursuit of Carapaz, who picked up six bonus seconds.
