There's a video going around about why Pogačar fell, apparently it was bad luck. (VIDEO)

Tadej Pogačar suffered a serious fall during the eighth stage of this year's Spanish cycling race. The incident occurred when he was on the left side of the road and then moved to the right, where he collided with another cyclist and fell over the handlebars. A video from the aerial broadcast showed the fall but did not clearly explain the cause. However, another video shared by cyclist Lukáš Ronald Lukács revealed a large rock approximately ten centimeters away from the edge of the road, which Pogačar hit with his front wheel. This accident has raised questions about whether the organizers were negligent in leaving the rock on the course for an extended period, potentially affecting Pogačar's chances of winning the Vuelta, which remains the only major three-week race he hasn't won yet. Meanwhile, Bryan Coquard won today's stage, while Primoz Roglic advanced to second place after Pogačar's fall.

The incident occurred approximately 30 kilometers from the end of the stage between Pucol and Xeraco (171 km), which was expected to be relatively calm for contenders in the overall standings. Pogačar was found on the edge of the road before being thrown to the right side, where he collided with another cyclist and fell over the handlebars.
