Abrahamsen collects the points, Evenepoel gets back into position… Follow the 8th stage

Triumphant breakaway or mass sprint? Several scenarios are possible in this eighth stage of the Tour de France, Saturday, July 6. From the start in the small town of Semur-en-Auxois to the finish in Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises, on the land of General de Gaulle, the cyclists will follow a hilly 183.4 km course. The stage will be punctuated by three fourth-category climbs, two third-category climbs, as well as an intermediate sprint set at the 59th kilometer.

In the event of a group finish of the peloton, sprinters like Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Arnaud de Lie (Lotto Dstny), will try to win their first stage on this Tour de France 2024. This will not be the case for Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek), who will not start. But on a stage with a hilly profile, a breakaway could nevertheless disrupt the plans of the contenders for the green jersey.
