Perigueux → Bergerac

Elevation profile

Stage preview

A detour through the Dordogne, past the Lascaux caves and the town of Sarlat, without changing the day's character much. With only 1,150 m of climbing, this is another shot for the sprinters beaten in Bordeaux, and another day in the fight for green.

Stage favourites

Stage 8 (Perigueux → Bergerac, 180.4 km) is a flat sprint stage with 1,346 m of cumulative climbing. The peloton will almost certainly arrive together and the finish will come down to the pure sprinters and their lead-out trains.

⚡ Watch for the lead-out trains forming in the final 3 km, and for any crosswind splits that might splinter the peloton before the sprint.
