Vuelta a España 2025 Stage 8 Highlights

Jasper Philipsen sprinted to a Stage 8 victory at the Vuelta a España 2025 on Saturday to secure a second triumph in this year's race after he claimed an opening-day win.

The Belgian Alpecin-Deceuninck rider edged Elia Viviani on the line, with Ethan Vernon completing the podium.

*Viviani later was regulated from second to 105th, along with Bryan Coquard (from sixth to 106th).

Torstein Traen held on to the overall leader's red jersey for a third stage, still two and a half minutes ahead of race favorite Jonas Vingegaard.

The flat 163-kilometer run from Monzon Templario to Zaragoza was ideal for the sprinters after two days in the mountains.

Joan Bou, Jose Luis Faura and local favorite Sergio Samitier made an early move and were allowed up the road by the peloton on a warm day in northeast Spain.

Fighting against a headwind on exposed roads, the race moved slowly, playing against the chances of the early breakers.

The peloton caught the break with 17 kilometers remaining, and it left the fastest riders to duke it out, with Philipsen triumphing and Lotto's Italian veteran Viviani a fraction behind.

"We lost my teammate, I think he did an incredible lead out again, but he was not there, and I tried to communicate, but it's difficult in the last kilometer," Philipsen said. "I had to find my way, take a bit of extra wind and really come late because my legs were concrete. 

"But I just managed to win, so I'm really happy, and the effort of the team has not been for nothing."

On Sunday, a hilly Stage 9 takes riders 195.5 kilometers from Alfaro to the Valdezcaray ski resort.
