The incident occurred 32 kilometers before the finish line of the eighth stage, where Pogačar lost control of his bike and fell over the handlebars. Initially, it was believed the object might have been a rock, but Spanish media suggested it could have been part of photographic equipment that had fallen from the photographers' caravan.

Despite being presented with the red jersey symbolizing leadership, Mas chose not to wear it out of respect for Pogačar. Instead, he held the jersey while photographers took pictures. Pogačar’s accident occurred when he lost control of his bike, possibly due to hitting an obstacle like a rock or pothole, leading to a dramatic fall. Belgian cyclist Wout van Aert, who witnessed the incident closely, expressed regret over Pogačar’s withdrawal and noted the impact of the event on the race.
