Shocked, concerned and still trying to absorb what happened in the finale of stage 8 of the Vuelta a España, UAE Team Emirates-XRG management have said that their only priority after Tadej Pogačar crashed out is to support the rider as much as possible.
Some 34 kilometres from the finish, what should have been a totally normal transition stage suddenly warped into disaster for the Slovenian champion as he fell heavily on the left-hand side of the road.
