Alpecin-Deceuninck's Jasper Philipsen sprinted to victory on stage 8 of the Vuelta a España, expertly navigating a chaotic finish to take the victory in Zaragoza.

After missing out on stage 4, the race's next sprint stage was a big goal for the Belgian, who started the stage as a clear favourite, and despite a messy, disorganised lead-out, he came past Elia Viviani (Lotto) at the final moment to claim the win.
