Transcript

00:00Stage 8 of the Tour de France is going to be a battle between the sprinters and the breakaway succeeding until the end.

00:06Starting in Semur-en-Essoir, the 183km stage has 2,400m of climbing.

00:13Whilst the longest categorised climb is 2.9km long, the five categorised climbs have some really steep gradients.

00:20And with a strong crosswind hitting the riders from the left-hand shoulder for the majority of the day,

00:25it adds to the difficulty of the stage.

00:27Riders and teams will have to be attentive, particularly UAE Team Emirates with Taddy Boccaccia,

00:32who was alone in the crosswinds two days ago.

00:35After winning Milano-San Remo this year, Jasper Philipsen is a key contender today.

00:40But so is his team-mate, the world champion Mathieu van der Poel.

00:43Should he try and want to get into the breakaway?

00:45Benim Gamay will fancy his chances for a second stage victory.

00:49The Eritrean thrives on the steep ascents, as does Michael Matthews.

00:53Ben Healy showed he's in top form and will want to try and win from the breakaway,

00:57as would the Spanish champion Aaron Buru.

00:59But one thing's for certain, it's an open stage.
