Henok Mulubrhan takes 14th in crash-marred Stage 8

Event time:

By · Published

Henok Mulubrhan delivered his strongest performance of the 2026 Vuelta a España on Saturday, finishing 14th in the crash-hit eighth stage from Puçol to Xeraco.

The Eritrean crossed with the leading group in the same 3:47:06 time as winner Bryan Coquard, improving on his previous best of 15th in Stage 5. His XDS Astana teammate Alessandro Romele placed sixth, giving the team two riders inside the top 14.

The result lifted Mulubrhan to 71st overall, 46:36 behind new race leader Enric Mas, and to 57th in the points classification with five points.

The race was reshaped when Tadej Pogačar crashed and withdrew, handing the red jersey to Mas. Mulubrhan now turns to Sunday's demanding 187.4-kilometre mountain stage to Alto de Aitana.
