At the end of the 8th stage between Libourne and Limoges, there were a few small changes. Third in the points classification before the stage, Marc Cavendish, hit in the collarbone, retired after falling in the peloton 61km from the finish. And that benefited the winner of the sprint stage, Mads Pedersen, who climbed on the podium of the most consistent riders behind Bryan Coquard and the untouchable Jasper Philipsen, still second this Saturday.
For his part, Jonas Vingegaard keeps his yellow jersey ahead of Tadej Pogacar and Jai Hindley. After his fall five terminals from the finish, Simon Yates went from fourth to sixth place overall.
