The Portuguese national champion Rui Costa has sadly abandoned the 2024 Vuelta a Espana after a crash inside the final 10km of stage 5.
After a slow and relaxed day, the pace was very high heading into the finale and when Costa's EF Education-EasyPost teammate Owain Doull slid out heading through the 10km to go banner, Costa simply had nowhere to go and was brought down to the ground himself. Whilst Doull was able to get back on his bike and into the peloton, Costa has abandoned.

- You really can't blame someone for being an introvert, just like you can't praise someone for being an extrovert. These are personality traits and these guys are racers, not personality contestants. I wish I was an extrovert, but I'm just not....Al19-03-2025
- It's incredible that in 80 years of life, he hasn't learned to respect other people's privacy. Stop humiliating Loulou.

- It's not that UAE have 19 victories at this point in the season, it's that 9 different riders have been involved. Congratulations to del Toro for joining the list, he's been interesting to watch ever since the first Tour Down Under he raced in!RidesHills19-03-2025

- Yes but I found it difficult to hold onto it while cycling......... Seriously though I've researched and tried pretty much every remedy imaginable. Last week was bad, this last few days no problems.Cyclingsbestfan19-03-2025
- there is something odd about his departure from Bora and while no one knows the true deal, I have a hard time believing this is all on the team and that Bora did him completely wrong. he came across as a major prima donna at the timemij19-03-2025

- I think his point is that Jonas should be more of a peloton voice/leadervappaxbipmv19-03-2025
- What's the point? Jonas doesn't have the charisma of Pogi? These are athletes not politicians. Attacking an athlete for lack of charisma is childish, although it is totally valid to say he should have opposed the continuation of the race at the time.Meeper19-03-2025
