"[46] Overall Roglic was still in command of the Maillot Jaune by +0:40 over Pogacar and +1:34 over Rigoberto Uran, with López, Yates, Porte and Landa within about two minutes going into the final rest day. Pogacar launched an attack with about 3 km to go, which was answered by most of the GC riders but the yellow jersey of Adam Yates began to fall behind. Among them Thomas De Gendt tried his luck to attack the breakaway and built a bit of a gap. Their gap eventually exceeded six minutes and Herrada, Van Avermaet, Lutsenko and Powless would survive to finish ahead of the peloton with Lutsenko riding away from everyone and soloing to victory. Once the circuit finish around the Champs Elysees began the stage turned into the sprinters teams containing any attacks to see to it this coveted sprinters stage ended in a bunch sprint. The surviving peloton was content to let this group get away as Tony Martin and Robert Gesink took their turns for Jumbo-Visma at the front of the main field. Stage twenty one was the celebration ride into Paris for Pogacar and UAE Team Emirates. Second-, third- and fourth-category climbs gave 5, 2 and 1 points to the first rider respectively. Romain Bardet, Bauke Mollema and Bernal himself were the most prominent riders who were forced to drop out. Tom Dumoulin became the most powerful super-domestique in the race when he sacrificed himself for the team during the previous stage[35] and in conjunction with the climbing abilities of George Bennett, Wout Van Aert and Sepp Kuss team Jumbo was proving to be the strongest team in the Tour. Bennett also reclaimed the green jersey from Sagan and would not relinquish the Maillot Vert for the rest of the Tour. Stage eight was a mountain stage where a breakaway of thirteen riders eventually formed and began to build a gap. The final podiums included Sam Bennett in the green jersey, Marc Hirschi as the Most Combative Rider and the team competition was won by Movistar Team for the 3rd year in a row.

Andersen crossed the line alone claiming his first Tour stage win and +0:15 later Simone Consonni and Luka Mezgec rounded out the podium ahead of Peter Sagan who finished 4th. Bernal's teammate Pavel Sivakov, as well as Colombian duo Sergio Higuita and Daniel Martínez (EF Pro Cycling), and David Gaudu (Groupama–FDJ) were also expected to do well in this classification. They were caught after being away for about 100 km and the surviving peloton controlled the race from then on. Coquard, Greipel, Pedersen and Elia Viviani were all there in the end but the podium was filled by Sagan, Ewan and Sam Bennett, who claimed his first stage win in the Tour de France. Ritchie Porte also fell back after getting a flat tire on the gravel section but he was able to make it back to the elite group meaning places 1-4 were the same as the previous day. Of the early riders to complete the time trial, the best time of the day was put in by Remi Cavagna, who would lead the race for several hours. [9][10] One of many outside contenders was Julian Alaphilippe, who wore the yellow jersey for 14 days the previous year and managed to finish fifth, but the Frenchman confirmed that his focus would be on winning stages and not targeting the general classification. Throughout the three week Tour de France, the leader of this competition will wear a white jersey. As such the attacks and breakaway attempts began almost as soon as 'the race is on' was declared. 9th place rider Tom Dumoulin would beat Van Aert's time by ten seconds to put himself in first position, placing him in serious contention for the stage win. These two were the final two riders up the road when the group of favorites caught them at the foot of the final climb, the Col du Grand Colombier, with the Rolland being awarded Most Combative Rider.

They had several riders survive in the final group and two of them attacked near the end of the stage but it was Marc Hirschi who was able to stay away. His attack worked as many of the GC contenders lost half a minute or more. Put another way it won’t be easy for a second tier climber to jump away early on a summit finish but by the time the finish is near … [24] Cosnefroy retained the jersey as a result and would be in good position to defend it over the next few stages. The yellow jersey also switched riders as race leader Julian Alaphilippe accepted food inside 20 km to go, which is a penalty for safety reasons, and was docked twenty seconds. It was a tailor-made stage for Sagan, who had won several stages like this throughout his career and had more stage wins than any other rider in the Tour. In this group was Geoffrey Soupe of Team Total Direct Énergie, Cyril Barthe, Dylan van Baarle and Max Walscheid. 32 riders broke clear initially, but on the first climb of the day it would be reduced to 19.
