Jhonatan Narváez breaks free to win his second stage of 2026 Giro d’Italia

• Ecuadorian wins 156km eighth stage by 30 seconds

• Hindley attacks but Vingegaard stays on his wheel

Jhonatan Narváez powered away from his breakaway rivals to win stage eight of the Giro d’Italia on Saturday for his second victory and injury-decimated Team UAE’s third.

Adam Yates, Jay Vine and Marc Soler have all been forced out of the Giro after a gruesome stage three pile up in Bulgaria, but the super-team from the Emirates has refocused impressively.
