It became known what caused the fall of Tadej Pogacar: the object caused the misfortune in the Vuelta a España

A video has emerged revealing the cause of Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogacar's severe fall during the 2026 Vuelta a España, which occurred on August 29 during stage 8. The incident was caused by a rock that destabilized Pogacar, leading to a dramatic crash that forced him to withdraw from the competition. Medical reports from UAE Team Emirates, his team, indicate he sustained multiple fractures, including a displaced left clavicle fracture and a stable C7 cervical fracture, along with concussions and abrasions. He requires surgery, which will be delayed due to concussion precautions. Pogacar, who was leading the race with a time of 19:32:37, is now out of contention, and Enric Mas of Movistar has taken over the lead with a time of 23:24:00. The eighth stage was won by Bryan Coquard of Cofidis.
