The Italian cyclist Jonathan Milan won the eighth stage of the 112nd Tour de France.
The 24-year-old from Team Lidl-Trek won the mass sprint in Laval on Saturday after 171.4 km, confirming his favorite role before the stage and celebrating his first day of the day during this year’s tour of France.
Milan referred Wout van Aert (Belgium) and Kaden Grove (Australia) to the places in a technically demanding final, Pascal Ackermann (Kandel/Israel Prime Minister Tech) was fourth.
The yellow jersey successfully defended world champion Tadej Pogacar. The three-time tour champion rolled to the finish line as the overall leader with the main field.
There will also be a sprint on Sunday. The last real flat stage of the 112nd Tour de France leads to the center of the Grande Nation and is a tribute to Mark Cavendish, the largest stage hunter in the history of the race.
The 174.1 km long ninth stage leads from Chinon to the Département Indre, where the day winner in the Sprinter stronghold of Châteauroux is chosen. Cavendish cheered there three times.
