Italy’s Jonathan Milan captured Stage 8 of the Tour de France with a profitable dash to the end on Saturday in Laval, France.
It was the primary profession stage win on the Tour de France for the 24-year-old Milan, the 2021 Tokyo Olympics gold medalist in staff pursuit and the 2024 world champion in particular person pursuit.
Belgium’s Wout van Aert completed second in Saturday’s flat 171.4-kilometer stage in western France and Australia’s Kaden Groves was third.
Defending and three-time champion Tadej Pogacar of Slovenia retained the general race chief’s yellow jersey, trailed by Belgium’s Remco Evenepoel and France’s Kevin Vauquelin. Matteo Jorgenson is the main American within the race in sixth place.
Stage 9 on Sunday is a flat 174.1-kilometer trek from Chinon to Chateauroux. International biking’s premier 21-stage race will conclude on July 27 in Paris.
