The essential
The riders of the Tour de France are tackling the Pyrenees this afternoon, with two 1st category passes and one extra category on the program.
Important detail: the finish will not take place at the top of the Col de Peyresourde, the last difficulty of the day, but at Loudenvielle, after a long descent.
Briton Adam Yates was the leader at the start of this 8th stage, three seconds ahead of Slovenian Primoz Roglic.
