Rated ascents:
Weather at the finish city of Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises at 1:45 PM, local time: 18C (65F), cloudy, with the wind from the southwest at 23 km/hr (14 mph). There is a 14% chance of rain. There was some rain early in the stage.
The stage: Tour de France boss Christian Prudhomme wrote, "Although no altitude records will be broken, the first two-thirds of this stage does feature five categorized climbs. The relentless ups and downs may put a strain on the legs at the point when the sprinters’ team-mates are starting to think about setting up a bunch finish. But the last three kilometers of the final straight, which rise slightly but steadily, could be the ideal place to bring the peloton back together."
The race: Mads Pedersen did not start Stage 8, being forced to abandon the race following his crash in the bunch sprint on Stage 5 into Saint Vulbas. The update from Lidl-Trek: “The Danish rider fought through Stage 6 and 7 but the pain and swelling has not improved and the range of movement in his left shoulder has worsened, making it almost impossible to handle the bike. While the initial x-rays showed no sign of a fracture, together with the Team, the decision was made that it was in Mads' best interest to stop racing in order to undergo more detailed examinations to assess his injuries further and give him the proper rest and recovery needed to focus on his remaining goals this summer and the final part of the season.”
Here's the race organizer's stage eight summary:
Another exciting bunch sprint in Colombey-les-deux-Eglises was won by Biniam Girmay (Intermarche - Wanty) to take the Stage 8 bouquet and strengthen his position in the green jersey. Girmay just got the better of second placed Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) in a tough uphill finish. Meanwhile it was Arnaud de Lie (Lotto-dstny) who finished in third place, with Pascal Ackermann (Israel-Premier Tech) and Marijn Van den Berg (EF Education-EasyPost) completing the top five. In the Yellow Jersey Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) remains in charge in the overall rankings, with nothing changing at the top of the general classification on the eighth day of racing. Pogacar therefore still leads the GC rankings by 33” from Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) and 1'15" from Jonas Vingegaard (Team Visma | Lease a Bike).
Pedersen out of the Tour
There were 173 riders on the start line in Semur-en-Auxois, after Mads Pedersen was ultimately forced to abandon the race following his crash in the bunch sprint into Saint Vulbas on Stage 5. Intermittent rain, strong wind and the hilly parcours meant it would be a demanding day. Neilson Powless and Stefan Bissegger (EF Education-EasyPost) attacked as soon as the starting flag was shown, along with Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X). That trio built an advantage that increased to 2'25” at km 16. However, the attacks of EF Education-EasyPost itself on the Côte de Vitteaux (Cat 3, km 24.1) caused the peloton to accelerate and at the summit polka dot jersey wearer Abrahamsen went over first, with the gap back to bunch by then down to just 1'15”.
Abrahamsen charges on
Not finally able to place Ben Healy or Alberto Bettiol in the breakaway, EF gave up on the attacks and also stopped Bissegger and Powless. Jordan Jegat (TotalEnergies) tried to join Abrahamsen in vain, and the Norwegian would top the climbs of Côte de Villy-en-Auxois (Cat 4, km 32.5) and the Côte de Verrey-sous-Salmaise (Cat 3, km 38.8) unchallenged and alone. At the intermediate sprint marker at Lamargelle (IS, km 59) Abrahamsen enjoyed a 5'40” lead over a relaxed peloton. Biniam Girmay (Intermarche-Wanty) was the first rider from the peloton at the intermediate sprint point, thus securing another day in the green jersey.
More polka dot prominence
Abrahamsen ploughed on alone over the Côte de Santenoge (Cat 4, km 96.7) and the Côte de Giey-sur-Aujon (Cat 4, km 122.4) picking up more points for the Mountain classification, though by the time he had reached the summit of the second of those climbs - the final categorised climb of the stage - his lead was down to just over 4 minutes. Abrahamsen’s successful day meant he secured himself at least two more stages in the polka dot jersey, as there will only be 4 Climbers points available to the riders on Stage 9 and then in the 10th stage there will be none.
The peloton is together and led by Wout Van Aert with 12.6 km to go.
A hectic finish in Colombey-les-deux-Eglises
Abrahamsen’s epic breakaway endeavours concluded 14.4 km from the finish and from there on the peloton raced together to Colombey-les-deux-Eglises. The frantic finale saw Girmay outsprint his rivals in an awesome display of power to grab the stage win in the green jersey.
