"Tour de France 2023: Stage 8 Showdown - Van der Poel, Van Aert, and Cavendish Battle in Limoges"
Stage eight of the Tour de France sees the riders tackle a 200.7km route from Libourne to Limoges. The peloton is tightly packed as they approach the end of the neutral zone, with sprinters vying for a chance at victory. Jasper Philipsen denied Mark Cavendish a record 35th stage win in stage seven, and today's stage offers another opportunity for sprinters. However, the challenging final 70km, which includes constant ups and downs, may favor strong riders like Mathieu van der Poel or Søren Kragh Andersen.
