Tour de France Route: Stage 8

Stage 8 – Saturday 6 July
The first real mountain stage of the Tour and the first summit finish. The stage is a tease, designed to give us a glimpse of rider form but without setting the overall classification for the next two weeks. The Port de Pailhères is a tough climb, some 15km at 8% but with regular sections at 10% or more. We can expect a break to go but only after a long fight at the start because the HC-rated climb offers the mountains jersey. The GC contenders get their showdown on the climb to Ax, a relatively short summit finish with irregular ramps that will chop out any wooden legs.
