The 6th stage of the Vuelta a España continues to claim its victims. Now it’s Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates) who has just abandoned the race. The Australian didn’t recover from a fall during the course. The 27-year-old cyclist is on his way to the hospital for a more detailed examination.
Vine displayed excellent form during the third stage with the finish in Arinsal. The climber finished 12th on the arrival in Andorra. For this reason, Vine’s withdrawal is a significant loss for UAE Team Emirates in the pursuit of the leader’s jersey, with Juan Ayuso or João Almeida.
