Sagan, Bouhanni out of Vuelta a Espana

Peter Sagan (Cannondale) and Nacer Bouhanni (FDJ.fr) have abandoned the Vuelta a Espana as the race heads into the decisive mountain stages in the Asturias region of northern Spain. Both riders are set to ride the World Championships in Ponferrada later this month and have opted to recover and train rather than suffer in the mountains.
