Stage 8: Tour de France 2009 Schedule

We reported yesterday that French rider Brice Feillu won Stage 7 of the Tour de France 2009, but will he be able to keep up that momentum once he hits the mountains for today’s event. Below we have the complete Stage 8: Tour de France 2009 Schedule.

Stage 8 will see the riders continue through the Pyrenees, which will begin today. The course for Saturday is 176 kilometers and there are three climbs. The profile of this course will not allow any rider to take advantage in a title-winning move, but if a Tour de France contender did have a bad day, then this would not prove well for their GC hopes.

As soon as the flat drops the road starts to kick up, the first is the Port d’Envalira. This is a category 1 climb and goes on for 23 kilometers; this has an average grade of about 5%. For a closer look at the course, visit Bike World News.
