TODAY: STAGE 8
Cazeres- sur- Garonne– Loudenvielle ( 141km)
The race enters the Pyrenees with a suitably tough day of climbing, including the first hors categorie climb of the race – the Port de Bales. That should split up the favourites before the Col de Peyresourde, where there is an eight- second time bonus on offer at the summit before the run down to Loudenvielle.
