Die 8. Etappe der Tour de France 2023 verläuft von Libourne nach Limoges.
The Tour de France leaves the west of France with the eighth stage. Saturday's 200.7 kilometre section from Libourne to Limoges could be the hour of the breakaway. Perhaps Georg Zimmermann from Augsburg will manage to catch a good group. Otherwise, another sprint decision is to be expected.
However, two fourth-category climbs and a gradient of up to five per cent in the last 700 metres make the stage finale difficult. This is unlikely to suit a pure sprinter like Marcel Kittel, who won on a slightly different course in Limoges in 2016.
