As the Tour de France headed South after visiting Burgundy they passed by the Northern Rhone. Stage 8 departed Macon and finished in St. Etienne. Thomas De Gendt won the stage covering 200 km and seven categorized climbs for nearly 4,000 metres of elevation gain.
This was also the day that Julian Alaphilipe regained the overall race leader's yellow jersey.
In honor of De Gendt's long range attack, this final installment of the Tour de France challenge features a Washington Syrah taking on Gigondas.
