Our stage 8 Tour de France podcast opens with an extraordinary musical performance from François Thomazeau and Kate Wagner as we discuss a stage won by Belgian Dylan Teuns and in which Tadej Pogacar, the defending champion, stamped his authority on the race as he took over the yellow jersey.

We discuss whether, with two weeks remaining, the battle for overall victory is effectively over. And we hear from Teuns' sports director, Rolf Aldag, who can reflect on two stage wins on consecutive days.
