Tour De France Stage 7 Results

Stage 8 of the Tour de France can be summoned up in three words: mountains, mountains, mountains.

The 176.5-kilometer stage will have the remaining 176 riders climb three times from the center of the Andorra-la-Vielle to Saint-Girons.

But while three climbs does not seem like such a hard day for the boys on the tour, the professional cyclist will earn their pay as two of the climbs are category 1 with the third climb ranked as a category 2.
