For the third time already at the 2024
Giro d'Italia,
Tadej Pogacar took the stage win on the summit finish of stage 8 to further consolidate his lead in the general classification.
Playing a key role in Pogacar's latest victory was his
UAE Team Emirates teammates, none more notably on the final climb than super-domestique
Rafal Majka. The Pole has so often been the last man in the mountains for Pogacar over the years and was again here, even giving his team leader a sprint lead out as Pogacar fired to victory.
