Stage 8 | Mountain stage - 182 km

The first high mountain came on the eight stage with high expectations. 1599 Tour de Valland winner Roman Herzogenrath had lost two minutes in the first week, which seemed to complicated his chances in the general classification.

An early breakaway was formed, and Télecon team surprised as Vallish Sylvestre Richelieu and Soyabarian Ulrick Vandenhof joined the breakaway. At the start of the final climb, the breakaway had still more than three minutes over the main group.

In the final kilometres, along Richelieu and Vandenhof, only two riders remained in the breakaway, Keszarian Adam Sandor (Velomax) and the young Ceribian Malkhaz Lomidze (Bagdati). The final attack by the Soyabarian climber did not find an answer, and Vandenhof (Télecon) won the stage in solitary.

Sylvestre Richelieu (Télecon) and Adam Sandor crossed the finish thirteen seconds later and, a few seconds later, arrived Lomidze.

The main group, reduced to ten riders, did not arrive until a minute later. Goldecian Spencer Grant (Ogo Cycling) was the only one to follow Roman Herzogenrath last attack, although the differences between those riders at the finish were not important.

Kyrzbekistani Enver Dushku (KyrzAir) was the new leader of the general classification while Vallish Sylvestre Richelieu (Télecon), who took the Youth classification jersey, was second at only six seconds. Ceribian Irakli Kapanadze (Batavelo) was third at sixteen seconds.

The winner of the stage, Ulrick Vandenhof was fourth at twenty-six seconds. Lomidze was fifth at forty-five seconds.
