C’est le coureur Tchèque Leopold konig qui remporte la 8 ème étape , longue de 168 km, devant Daniel Moreno et Nicolas Roche. L’Irlandais devient le nouveau leader de cette Vuelta.
C’est dans la montée de l’Alto de Penas que tout s’est joué dans cette étape. Ils sont alors 20 coureurs dans ce groupe de tête et c’es Igor Anton (Euskaltel-Euskadi) qui prends les initiatives. Il démarre seul, le Français Warren Barguil (Argos-Shimano) tentera d’opérer la jonction mais Anton est déjà loin et sous le panneau 4km avant l’arrivée, il a déjà 20 sec d’avance sur Warren Barguil et le groupe de poursuivants juste derrière..
Il faut attendre les 3 derniers km avant de voir les choses changer. Horner , 2 ème du génral, passe à l’offensive mais il sera repris assez vite, Barguil est repris aussi par ce groupe emmené par Basso
A 2 km du finish, Anton ne posséde plus qu’ une poignée de sec sur le groupe de chasse . C’est à ce moment que Konig sort et tente de rejoindre le fuyard, seul Basso, Moreno , le Français Pinot et Nicolas Roche suivent le Tchèque. A 500 m Konig passe devant l’Espagnol qui sera rejoint par le quatuor de chasse , Dani Moreno lance alors le sprint mais Konig possède suffisamment d’avance pour l’emporter d’une petite sec sur Moreno et Roche , le Français Pinot arrive au pied du podium à la 4 ème place.
« Quand Alberto ne sera pas là , il faudra compter sur moi » s’était il confié à Be Celt cette saison. Il a tenu ses promesses, le fidèle lieutenant de Contador endosse le maillot de leader, avec déjà une victoire d’étape à son actif. A noter l’absence de son cousin Dan Martin, blessé sur chute hier, qui n’a pu prendre le départ de cette étape.
