Eyes on La Vuelta 🇪🇸 Stage 08 live…
…but just before getting into today’s stage, I just want to mention something that has been on my mind since yesterday.
Luca Van Boven crashed hard and still managed to finish the stage. Then, reading the news afterwards, I found out he did it with two broken ribs and a collapsed lung. It’s just insane. These guys are pushing their bodies to the limit every single day.
After my own crash a few weeks ago, I simply cannot watch these crashes in the same way anymore.
This sport is beautiful to watch, and even more beautiful to practice, but it can also be brutal sometimes.
Now, back to today’s stage. There’s a solo breakaway up the road, with brave Sinuhé Fernández, while Visma is keeping things under control behind.
Today looks like another opportunity for the sprinters who can survive the final climb. My names: Pedersen, Wout van Aert, Brennan… and as my surprise pick of the day, I’m going with Pau Miquel.
