Despite an overall positive day for the
INEOS Grenadiers at the
Giro d'Italia, stage 8 saw further frustration and bad luck for
Thymen Arensman.
“A frustrating day for me,” the 23-year-old former Vuelta a Espana stage winner revealed on his social media following the end of stage 8's drama that saw his teammates
Tao Geoghegan Hart and
Geraint Thomas gain time alongside
Primoz Roglic on pre-race favourite
Remco Evenepoel. “I first crashed into the back of some UAE Emirates guys. I hurt my thumb and ribs.”
