Tadej Pogacar keeps yellow jersey after flat stage
Jonathan Milan ended a six-year Italian drought with victory in stage eight of the 2025 Tour de France after breakaway duo Mattéo Vercher and Mathieu Burgaudeau were caught nine kilometres from the finish in Laval. The defending champion, Tadej Pogacar, remains in the yellow jersey.
In an inevitable bunch sprint on one of the Tour’s flattest stages, Milan, named after the best-selling novella, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, flew up the finish on Boulevard Pierre Elain to hold off Jonas Vingegaard’s teammate, Wout van Aert.
