Tour de France 2026 Stage 8 Route Analysis Périgueux to Bergerac #TourdeFrance
Stage 8 profiles a high-speed 180.4 KM flat route from Périgueux to Bergerac through the Dordogne region. While built for a bunch sprint finish, mechanical tactics on the Category 4 Côte de Domme and Côte du Buisson-de-Cadouin will test the peloton. Modern WorldTour sprinters deploy absolute aero data to control the pace, while 1910 pioneers hammered single-speed steel frames over unpaved French gravel roads to finish #VeloVault #Dordogne #ProCycling
