Belgian rider Wout van Aert won the eighth stage of the Tour de France on Saturday in Switzerland and two-time defending champion Tadej Pogacar slightly increased his overall lead.
Slovenia's Tadej Pogacar, wearing the overall leader's yellow jersey rides with Belgium's Wout Van Aert, wearing the best sprinter's green jersey during the seventh stage of the Tour de France cycling race over 176.5 kilometres with start in Tomblaine and finish in La Super Planche des Belles Filles, France, Friday, July 8, 2022.
"I'm super happy," Van Aert said. "I'm really glad my team put just everything in to chase down the breakaway, and then you have to finish it off. "It was not that far away but it was a fun game today. I maybe hesitated a bit and Van Aert passed me with super speed. For sure it's a little bit disappointment but third place is still great," said Pogačar, who rides for UAE Team Emirates.
American cyclist Kevin Vermaercke had to abandon early on in the stage after being caught in a crash at the back of the peloton, shortly after the start.
