Stage 7

8 July 2016 L'Isle-Jourdain to Lac de Payolle, 162.5 km (101 mi)[28]

This medium mountain stage departed from L'Isle-Jourdain, heading south-west through Lombez to Boulogne-sur-Gesse. The race then turned west travelling through Castelnau-Magnoac and Trie-sur-Baïse to Chelle-Debat. The route then turned south through Bordes and south-east to ascend the Category 4 Côte de Capvern, continuing without descent into La Barthe-de-Neste. The riders then headed south through an intermediate sprint at Sarrancolin, continuing to Arreau before turning west to begin the 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) climb of the Category 1 Col d'Aspin to 1,490 metres (4,890 ft). The riders then had a 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) descent to the finish line at Lac de Payolle.[28][29][30][31]

Steve Cummings won the stage with a solo attack. After the first five riders passed, the red inflatable 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) marker collapsed, blocking chasing riders, so the race organisation decided to use the timegaps measured at the 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) mark. Adam Yates was most affected by the collapsing flamme rouge, because he was 7 seconds in front of the other favorites at that moment, and the marker collapsed right in front of him, causing him to crash into it.[32] After the podium ceremony the commissaires revised the result, moving Yates into second place on the General Classification and into the white jersey, which he wore non-stop for the remainder of the 2016 competition.[33]

Stage 8

9 July 2016 Pau to Bagnères-de-Luchon, 184 km (114 mi)[34]

This mountainous stage departed from Pau, heading south-east, through Lestelle-Bétharram, to Lourdes. The race then turned south through Ayros-Arbouix and Villelongue, with an intermediate sprint at Esquièze-Sère, just before Luz-Saint-Sauveur. The route then headed east through Barèges to traverse the Hors catégorie Col du Tourmalet, a 19 kilometres (12 mi) climb to 2,115 metres (6,939 ft) for the Souvenir Jacques Goddet, with a descent into Sainte-Marie-de-Campan. The race then turned south and began the immediate ascent of the Category 2 La Hourquette d'Ancizan to 1,564 metres (5,131 ft) and descended into Saint-Lary-Soulan. The riders then turned east, once again, and ascended the Category 1 Col de Val Louron-Azet to 1,580 metres (5,180 ft), descending into Loudenvielle. The final climb was the Category 1 Col de Peyresourde at 1,569 metres (5,148 ft), before descending to the finish line at Bagnères-de-Luchon.[34][35][36][37]

Michael Mørkøv, who had been battling with injuries all week, became the first rider to withdraw from the tour.[38] This set a new all-time record for the longest time in which the peloton had remained intact prior to the first withdrawal.[39]

Chris Froome won the stage after surprisingly breaking away from a group of 14 riders just before the summit of the Col de Peyresourde, with about 15 km remaining.[40] On the descent into Bagnères-de-Luchon he adopted a 'super aero' position, pedalling as he did so reaching a top speed of 90.9 km/h.[41] With 10 km to go Froome opened up a gap of 11 seconds and he maintained the lead to the end, with the following pack finishing 13 seconds behind.[41] With the time bonus, Froome took the yellow jersey for the first time in the race, wearing it non-stop through the remainder of the 2016 competition.[40]
