Stage 8 saw 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alexis Vuillermoz (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:AG2R-La Mondiale) launch himself off the front of a dwindled peloton on the Mûr-de-Bretagne to take a solo stage victory ahead of a desperate chase from Dan Martin (Cannondale-Garmin) in second. While Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) led the splintered field across the line in third place. Vuillermoz's victory was made even sweeter by the fact that he was the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:first Frenchman to take a stage win at this year's 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France so far. 

Peter Sagan (Tinkoff-Saxo) finished fourth on the stage, and picked up enough points to move ahead of André Greipel (Lotto Soudal) in the green jersey classification. In the uphill run-in to the finish line, however, small gaps formed that caught out some of the main contenders including Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) and Andrew Talansky (Cannondale-Garmin).💝
