About Tour de France 2025 Stage 8 beforehand

After several hilly days, stage 8 offers relief for the sprinters with a flat route from Saint-Méen-Le-Grand to Laval. Mostly sheltered from the wind, it’s set up for a bunch sprint - though the final kilometre features a false flat that could shape the outcome.
