ALTO DE MONCALVILLO, Spain: Slovenian Primoz Roglic pulled off a brilliant late attack to win stage eight of the Vuelta a Espana on Wednesday and eat into the overall lead of Richard Carapaz.
Carapaz retained the red jersey but his lead was cut to 13 seconds as Roglic climbed from fourth overall into second, knocking Hugh Carthy back to fourth, with Daniel Martin moving into third overall after also coming third in the stage. He had been dealt a blow before the stage with the news that his Jumbo-Visma team mate Tom Dumoulin, co-leader before the race began, had pulled out due to fatigue.Carapaz's Ineos Grenadiers team led the peloton for most of the race and the chasing group reined in the breakaway with around 10 kilometres to go as Roglic and Carapaz stepped up the pace on the final climb.
