Stage eight of the Vuelta a España is set to be an exciting day of racing, with a challenging course that includes a categorized climb and a tough finish on a steep ascent. The stage is 160 kilometers long, with the first climb not coming until 105 kilometers into the race.

Another rider to watch out for is Egor Bannikov of Gazprom-RusVelo, who has shown promise in breakaway situations and could capitalize on his strengths on the hilly terrain of stage eight.
