Will Tadej Pogačar be in the red jersey after Stage 8 on August 29?

🤖 Context

The rule required that the official general classification published by the race jury or organiser immediately after the completion of Stage 8 of the 2026 Vuelta a España on 29 August 2026 list Tadej Pogačar first for a yes outcome. On 29 August 2026 Pogačar crashed with 31 km to go in Stage 8 and abandoned the race, and the race organisers confirmed his withdrawal. Because he abandoned during the stage and was removed from the race, he was not listed first in the official general classification immediately after Stage 8, so the answer is no.
