Tim Merlier (8Soudal Quick-Step) a remport\u00e9 la huiti\u00e8me \u00e9tape du Tour de France 2026, sa deuxi\u00e8me victoire cons\u00e9cutive. Il a devanc\u00e9 Biniam Girmay (NSN) et Olva Kooij (Decathlon CMA CGM) au sprint. Tadej Pogacar conserve son maillot jaune et son avance sur ses concurrents.<\/p>\n
Le Belge Tim Merlier a confirm\u00e9 qu’il \u00e9tait d’assez loin le sprinteur le plus rapide en ce d\u00e9but de Tour de France. Parti derri\u00e8re tous ses concurrents pour le sprint massif \u00e0 l’arriv\u00e9e \u00e0 Bergerac, il a remont\u00e9 le train pour enlever sa deuxi\u00e8me \u00e9tape apr\u00e8s son succ\u00e8s \u00e0 Bordeaux vendredi, pour sa cinqui\u00e8me victoire sur la Grande Boucle.<\/p>\n
Mais contre toute attente, cette \u00e9tape promise aux sprinteurs aurait tr\u00e8s bien pu sourire aux hommes de t\u00eate. Le peloton a jou\u00e9 avec le feu et a failli se br\u00fbler.<\/p>\n
Pogacar reste en t\u00eate<\/p>\n
Dans l’\u00e9chapp\u00e9e, le Belge Liam Slock (Lotto) a longtemps r\u00e9sist\u00e9 au retour de ses poursuivants, restant seul en t\u00eate apr\u00e8s avoir franchi en solo la deuxi\u00e8me et derni\u00e8re difficult\u00e9 r\u00e9pertori\u00e9e de la journ\u00e9e, \u00e0 plus de 40km de l’arriv\u00e9e. Il poss\u00e9dait encore une minute d’avance \u00e0 moins de 10km de la fin, mais a finalement rattrap\u00e9 \u00e0… 1,3km de la ligne.<\/p>\n
Rien \u00e0 signaler parmi les favoris du classement g\u00e9n\u00e9ral. Les \u00e9carts resteront les m\u00eames et Tadej Pogacar conserve ses 2’42 d’avance sur Jonas Vingegaard.<\/p>\n
Dimanche sera une \u00e9tape plus accident\u00e9e, davantage taill\u00e9e pour les baroudeurs, avec 185,5km entre Malemort et Ussel, en Corr\u00e8ze.<\/p>\n
