• 14 Jul 2023 Stage 13 begins!
• 14 Jul 2023 Preamble

115km to go: That previous group of six was shut down. Now it’s Pacher, Van Gils, Oliveira and Teunissen out front, a group of four, and they have 13sec.

117km to go: One of the sports directors comes on the radio, saying that UAE Team Emirates have let it be known that they want to control the race today and go for the stage win. On commentary, Sean Kelly and Robbie McEwen poo-poo this idea. Neither believe UAE Team Emirates will expend the energy to control this.

119km to go: Cavagna (Soudal–Quick-Step), Castroviejo and Fraile (Ineos Grenadiers), Cort (EF Education–EasyPost), Wright (Bahrain Victorious) and Coquard (Cofidis) are the six up front.

121km to go: Six riders bust away from the clutches of the peloton once again. Is that Mohoric up there? I think it may be. Anyway six riders have five seconds on the bunch, but the bunch is still trying to shut all this silliness down.

We’re told the front group is moving at 56km/h. That’s a spicy meatball!

122km to go: Cavagna, the Frenchman who hails from Clermont-Ferrand, has a crack off the front again. It is Bastille Day, after all. Not Metronomy Day or Friendly Fires Day.

124km to go: Pierre Latour (TotalEnergies) and Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X) are on the move up front. They have impressively built a lead of eight seconds over the chasing peloton. But chasing is the operative word: the main bunch aren’t having any of this, and are trying their hardest to close it down … Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) is taking charge of the chase, and predictably given his ludicrous power, he shuts it down in double-quick time. All back together.

125km to go: You already know about today’s climb. Stage 13’s intermediate sprint comes at Hauteville-Lompnes, with 50.5km to race. It’s on the way to the top of the long, but uncategorised ascent that comes as an hors d’oeuvre for Grand Colombier.

128km to go: “Huge day,” emails Paul. “But why have the French declared a national holiday named after a middling but erudite indie synth band? Can any Francophile readers explain? Not knowing is driving me MAD but I’ll wager that it’s do with why we needed to leave the EU and that. I predict we will see Pogacar in yellow today (the colour, not the middling but erudite Swiss synth band).”

129km to go: Cofidis up front now. There’s a gaggle of riders up ahead of the peloton again. Again they are going to be reeled in. At this pace, we’ll be faster than the fastest predicted stage finish, I’d bet.

130km to go: EF Education–EasyPost now have two riders up front trying to snap the elastic.

“Good afternoon!” emails Bill.

“It’s France! It’s Bastille Day! It’s a big mountain finish! It’s Thibaut’s time! Pinot is going to get a huge stomp on, and the final climb is going to be thrilling heorics in the red all the way to the top. He will take a brilliantly emotional victory on his farewell Tour de France .

“It will be marvellous.”

132km to go: The situation is fluid up front … but now that latest attempt to break away is closed down and we are back together again. This isn’t going to be a nice, relaxed start to the three looming days in the mountains, that’s for sure.

134km to go: Rémi Cavagna (Soudal–Quick-Step) now has a dart. There are four riders who have a few metres on the peloton. Biniam Girmay (Intermarché–Circus–Wanty) gets across and swells the group. Six there now … but I fancy this is going to get pulled back as well. They only have a few metres and it’s strung out at the front as the riders try to pull it back.

136km to go: That first attempt to break away is shut down. But more attacks come almost immediately. Mike Teunissen (Intermarché–Circus–Wanty) is the next to have a bash. He springs out of the peloton on the left-hand side of the road. And several riders give chase.

137km to go: Victor Campanaerts is one of two Lotto Dstny riders up front, trying to form the breakaway. Three Uno-X men are giving chase. They are speeding along at 50km/h.

Stage 13 begins!

And they’re off. Lotto Dstny are on the attack.

On the telly, there’s a beautiful shot of the Alps looming in the far distance.

Andrey Amador (EF Education–EasyPost) needs a front wheel change following a puncture.

Here we go then. The peloton are rolling along in the neutralised zone. 1.2km until they race.

Jens Voigt believes the break has zero chance of survival today. I don’t agree – and not just because Pogacar said UAE will be keeping their options open …

As mentioned earlier, De Gendt won on this day in 2016, the same day that Chris Froome went for a jog on Mont Ventoux:

On Eurosport , pundit Dan Lloyd points out that going really deep today may cost riders over the weekend: perhaps not tomorrow, but Sunday. Managing effort over the next three days is going to be so important.

Now Vingegaard speaks , and is asked by Eurosport if this is a climb for Pogacar? “Yes, it suits him better. It’s only one climb in the end. In that case we’ll try to ride a bit defensively today.

Are you going to leave everything to UAE? “Basically, yes.

“I have the lightest options for today [bike and equipment].

“It’s a very, very hard climb. It’s 17km. Especially the bottom of it is very hard. It’s a hard climb to predict. In the bottom it’s steeper … we’ll see what plans everyone else has.”

He looks nervous, in my view, but that’s only to be expected …

Tadej Pogacar speaks to Eurosport, and is asked about how today may play out: “A lot depends on the break … then we have to decide if we go for it, or we let go.”

Is Grand Colombier a good climb for him? “I think yes, it suits me good. Three years ago was really nice memories . It would be nice to have it again. But today might be totally different than three years ago.”

And what did he think of Jumbo Visma’s tactics yesterday? “It was a bit crazy. They really wanted to go for the break. It was strange to see. But for us, it was OK, we had a good day yesterday. We focus on ourselves, and do our own thing.”

The headline in GC is that Vingegaard leads Pogacar by 17sec.

Top 10 before stage 13:

Vingegaard 50hr 30min 23sec Pogacar +17sec Hindley +2min 40sec Rodriguez +4min 22sec Bilbao +4min 34sec A Yates +4min 39sec S Yates +4min 44sec Pidcock +5min 26sec Gaudu +6min 01sec Pinot +6min 33sec

Mark Cavendish gives an update following his unfortunate departure from the race . He says his broken collarbone is slightly complicated by a previous injury – the one he sustained when he crashed in Harrogate in 2014. Anyway, aside from that, he sounds upbeat and thanks everyone who’s sent him messages of support. It’s been “wicked”, he says.

One more next year … ?

Any thoughts on today’s stage? You can email me or tweet . Allez!

Ion Izagirre mounted a superb lone breakaway yesterday to snaffle Cofidis’s second stage win of this Tour. Here’s Jeremy Whittle’s report, kicking off with some “Hell yes, I’m tough enough” thoughts from Vingegaard on the looming battle with Pogacar on Grand Colombier:

Chris Froome enjoyed some good times on Mont Ventoux, of course, but things are rather different now. Sylvan Adams, Israel-Premier Tech’s owner, took the opportunity yesterday to point out that the four-times Tour winner has not provided value for money since signing for the team in 2020:

Seven years ago today: everyone’s favourite Belgian breakaway specialist, Thomas de Gendt, won the stage on Mont Ventoux. (Being pedantic, it wasn’t “atop” Mont Ventoux as the Lotto Dstny tweet states. The finish was at Chalet Reynard, I think, but certainly not atop the mountain as you can see from the photo.)

It’s the 14th of July – Bastille Day – a time for French pride and, perhaps, a French stage winner?

Here’s a picture of Tony Gallopin (Lidl-Trek) waving the flag, a proud Frenchman, but not the type of rider who will be in contention for today’s win.

Below that, a hint from the Tour’s official Twitter that we may see an appearance from the Patrouille acrobatique de France.

🇫🇷 Bastille day on the Grand Colombier 🇫🇷 Fête nationale au Grand Colombier ! #TDF2023 pic.twitter.com/J32EMuqRAv — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 14, 2023

The omens could hardly be better for UAE Team Emirates today. In 2020, Tadej Pogacar won stage 15 atop Grand Colombier on a day that Egan Bernal’s attempt to defend his title with Team Ineos disintegrated. Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) remained well placed for the overall win, or so it seemed before that fateful final time trial.

Have you got much planned for this weekend? The Tour de France certainly has: three mountain stages, beginning today, that may even determine the overall winner. The race hits the Jura Mountains this afternoon before two punishing days in the Alps on Saturday and Sunday. This afternoon’s route is relatively short, at 137.8km, but very sharp with a summit finish atop Grand Colombier, 17.4km long, peaking 1,501m above sea level.

We will almost certainly see a full-on early fight to form a breakaway among the peloton’s climbers who fancy a stage win, but regardless of how the rest of the stage plays out, attention will be focused on Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar on that final, attritional ascent. The Slovenian Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) is just 17sec behind his Danish rival in the general classification. Vingegaard, of Jumbo-Visma, may still lead the race, but there is a sense Pogacar is getting stronger and merely waiting for his moment.

Perhaps the GC teams will seek to control things, and let Vingegaard and Pocagar duke it out for the stage win as well as precious seconds in the GC at the front of the race? However it shakes down, the relatively short distance and the finely-balanced situation at the top of the standings means it’s going to be gripping entertainment anyway.

The final GC standings in the 2022 Tour de France after stage 21

Vingegaard finishes the Tour de France with an exceptional time trial, securing the 2022 yellow jersey

Jonas Vingegaard was crowned the 2022 Tour de France champion in Paris on stage 21 of the race, rolling over the line in procession with his Jumbo-Visma teammates - 51 seconds behind stage winner Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and the main peloton.

The sentiment didn't cost Vingegaard a significant chunk of his margin over second place Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), who finishes the race 2:49 down on the Dane in the yellow jersey.

Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) finished in third place in the overall classification, 7:28 down on Vingegaard.

Aside from Jumbo's split finish, the remainder of the general classification remains exactly as it was following the decisive stage 20 time trial .

Indeed, a day previously, stage 20 was the last dance of the general classification contenders at the 2022 Tour de France , and the very last gasp for any aspirations of capturing the yellow jersey for Pogačar. 

Vingegaard showed absolutely no weakness, though, coming second on the time trial only 19 seconds behind his teammate and stage winner Wout van Aert, beating Pogačar by 8 seconds.

Securing his spot on the podium, Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) rode into fourth position on stage 20, losing only 12 seconds to Vingegaard - he rode into stage 21 down 8:13 in the GC and in third place overall.

Aleksandr Vlasov (Bora-Hansgrohe) shook things up further down the order, finishing 2:46 behind Van Aert and leapfrogging both Louis Meintjes and Nairo Quintana to move into fifth position in the general classification - while Meintjes and Quintana shifted down to sixth and eighth respectively.

Splitting the two of them is Romain Bardet , who showed fighting spirit in finishing 25th on stage 20's TT - 3:10 down on Van Aert. That bumped the Frenchman up from seventh to eighth, compounding a bad day for Meintjes who lost 5:48 on the time trial.

At the race finish, the top 10 is rounded off by Alexey Lutsenko (Astana Qazaqstan) and Adam Yates (Ineos Grenadiers) who both remained the same position after a testing TT on stage 20 - Lutsenko in ninth and Yates in 10th - though their margins to yellow noticeably stretched out. After stage 20, the top 10 spanned a yawning 25:43 coming into the final stage on Sunday - only drawn slightly shorter by the 51 seconds Vingegaard returned to the GC contenders on Sunday's final stage.

The story of Vingegaard's victory spans many stages, with his big gain coming on stage 11, where he took a stunning victory on the Col du Granon. A week later, on stage 18, he crushed all hopes for Pogačar's yellow jersey on the Hautacam ascent, where he won the stage to finish over a minute ahead of the Slovenian.

Of course, that came alongside day-in-day-out battles for minor gains, and dozens of brave attacks from Pogačar. Vinegegaard finishes the Tour as a worthy winner, setting the stage for a dramatic GC battle for years to come.

The tour de france classifications.

Here's a rundown of all the ongoing competitions at the Tour de France. Click here for a more comprehensive explainer , including minor competitions such as the intermediate sprints prize and the fighting spirit prize. Speaking of prizes, click here to find out how much the riders can win during the Tour de France .

Yellow Jersey/Maillot Jaune – The yellow jersey is worn by the overall race leader on the general classification who has completed the stages so far in the lowest accumulated time.

Green Jersey – The green jersey is the points classification. Riders accrue points at one of the two intermediate sprints during stages and also at stage finishes, and the man with the most points leads the ranking.

Polka Dot Jersey – The red and white polka dot jersey is the mountain classification. Points are handed out to the first riders over certain hills and climbs during the Tour de France, with the hardest mountains giving the most points. Once again, the man with the most points leads the ranking.

White jersey – The white jersey is the best young rider classification. It works the same way as the yellow jersey, but only riders aged 25 or under are eligible to win.

Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) won the yellow jersey as the overall winner of the 2023 Tour de France. The 26-year-old won the Tour for the second straight season, becoming the 21st rider in history to win the race multiple times. Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), another two-time TdF winner, finished second for the second straight season, 7 minutes, 29 seconds behind Vingegaard. Pogačar’s UAE Team Emirates teammate Adam Yates was third overall, 10 minutes, 56 seconds behind the winner, to round out the podium of the Tour de France.

Here’s a look at how the General Classification played out in every stage of the 2023 Tour de France.

2023 Tour de France Champion - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) officially won the 2023 Tour de France after safely finishing Stage 21 on Sunday, July 23. For the second straight year, Vingegaard was the top General Classification rider at the Tour. This time, he beat second place Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) by 7:29, the largest margin of victory in the GC since Vincenzo Nibali won by 7:37 in 2014.

Vingegaard first claimed the yellow jersey after Stage 6 and never relinquished it. He led by 25 seconds over Pogačar at that point, but Pogačar slowly but surely cut into that advantage. That is, until Stage 16, when Vingegaard rode a brilliant time trial to drive his lead over Pogačar to 1:48. The next day on Stage 17, Vingegaard further solidified his lead after Pogačar cracked in the high mountains, driving Vingegaard’s lead well past seven minutes. He held that lead through the finish in Paris on Sunday. Pogačar, meanwhile, won the white jersey as the best young rider (25 years or younger) in the Tour de France. He wins white for a record-breaking fourth time.

Pogačar wasn’t the only UAE Team Emirates rider on the podium. Adam Yates, who held the yellow jersey from Stage 2 through Stage 5, finished third overall, 10:56 behind the leader. His twin brother, Simon Yates (Jayco-AlUla), finished fourth overall, 12:23 back. Carlos Rodriguez (INEOS Grenadiers) was fifth, 13:17 back.

Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninick) won the green jersey as the winner of the points classification. Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek) won the polka jersey, winning the King of the Mountains classification. Vingegaard’s Jumbo-Visma team won the team classification, with the best time of their team’s top three riders.

Stage 20 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) will wear the yellow jersey on the Champs-Élysées on Sunday as the leader of the 2023 Tour de France. Vingegaard is set to win his second straight Tour de France—barring diaster or as he said, “anything stupid—on the 21st and final stage.

Vingegaard finished second on Saturday’s Stage 20 with the same time as his top rival Tadej Pogačar. Pogačar claimed the stage win, but will have to settle for second to Vingegaard for a second straight year. This year, Vingegaard holds a 7 minute, 35 second advantage on Pogačar.

Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) remains in third overall, 10:56 back of the yellow jersey to get the final podium spot. His twin brother Simon Yates (Jayco-AlUla) moved up a spot to fourth on Saturday. He’s 12:23 back of the lead. Carlos Rodriguez (INEOS Grenadiers) rounds out the top five, losing a spot on Stage 20 after crashing early in the stage. He’s 12:57 behind the leader.

Stage 19 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) leads the 2023 Tour de France through 19 stages. Stage 19 was packed with a lot of exciting drama up front, but the General Classification contenders stayed well behind the action well over 13 minutes behind the stage winner.

Vingegaard continues to lead Tadej Pogačar (Team UAE Emirates) by 7:35. Adam Yates (also from UAE Team Emirates) is in third place overall, 10:45 back of the lead.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 75:49:24
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): -7:35
• Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates): -10:45
• Carlos Rodríguez (INEOS Grenadiers): -12:01
• Simon Yates (Jayco–AlUla): -12:19
• Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek): 88 points
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 75:56:59 (+4:26)

Stage 18 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) remains in the lead of the 2023 Tour de France after Stage 18. Thursday’s stage was a day for the sprinters (even though the breakaway managed to barely survive), so there were no changes as far as the GC situation. Stage 18 comes a day after Vingegaard solidified his spot atop the yellow jersey standings.

Vingegaard leads second place Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) by 7:35. Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) is in third, 10:45 behind the leader, and Carlos Rodriguez (INEOS Grenadiers) is in fourth, 12:01 behind. With three stages to go, Vingegaard surely can taste his second straight Tour victory.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 72:04:39
• Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck): 323 points
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 72:12:14 (+4:26)

Stage 17 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) leads the 2023 Tour de France, furthering his advantage on Stage 17. Vingegaard now leads second place Tadej Pogačar by 7 minutes, 37 seconds after leading by just 10 seconds two stages prior. Pogačar cracked in a big way on Wednesday, losing major time, while Vingegaard excelled once again in the mountains to gain massive amounts of time on his closest rival and pre-Tour co-favorite.

Vingegaard made major gains during the Stage 16 individual time trial, and then on Wednesday he delivered a virtual punishing blow to Pogačar’s yellow jersey hopes. It seemed during the Tour’s second week that Pogačar had a slight upperhand on Vingegaard. But it wasn’t to be as the defending champion through down his time trial and then big mountain ride on consecutive days. That changed the Tour from one of the closest of all-time to the largest leading margin since 2014.

There are four stages still remaining, but barring something completely unexpected, Vingegaard will win the Tour de France once again by the end of the day on Sunday.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 67:57:51
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 68:05:26 (+4:26)

Stage 16 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) leads the General Classification of the 2023 Tour de France after Stage 16. Vingegaard extended his hold on the yellow jersey on Tuesday on an individual time trial. The maillot jaune crushed the ITT, winning the stage by 1:38 and extending his GC lead to 1:48 over second place Tadej Pogačar, his top rival.

Vingegaard was magnificent on the time trial, putting time into Pogačar from the start all the way to the finish. It’s the first time this Tour that one of the co-favorites put a major amount of time into the other, as Vingegaard has firmly asserted himself as the one to beat over the remaining five stages.

Elsewhere in the GC battle for the podium, Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) moved up from fourth to third place in the standings. Yates supplanted Carlos Rodriguez (INEOS Grenadiers) after the time trial. Yates, Pogačar’s teammate, is 8:52 behind the yellow jersey Vingegaard. Rodriguez is now in fourth place, 8:57 behind Vingegaard. Just five seconds separates Yates and Rodriguez, so it should be an exciting matchup between those two for the third and final podium spot in the GC.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 63:06:53
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): -1:48
• Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates): -8:52
• Carlos Rodríguez (INEOS Grenadiers): -8:57
• Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe): -11:15
• Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek): 63 points
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 63:08:41 (+7:09)

Stage 15 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) remains in the yellow jersey after Stage 15 of the 2023 Tour de France. Vingegaard holds a 10-second lead over Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) after another tough mountain stage. Ultimately, the gap between the two GC favorites remained unchanged, as the two riders finished the stage together. The Tour heads into a Monday rest day before the final week begins, and very little has separated Vingegaard and Pogačar.

Carlos Rodriguez (INEOS Grenadiers) was able to extend his hold on the third place podium spot after Stage 15. Rodriguez finished the stage ahead of Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe), who he started the day just one second ahead of. Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) moved up ahead of Hindley for fourth place overall.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 62:34:17
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): -:10
• Carlos Rodríguez (INEOS Grenadiers): -5:21
• Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates): -5:40
• Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe): -6:38
• Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek): 58 points
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 62:34:27 (+5:11)

Stage 14 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) still leads the 2023 Tour de France after a wild Stage 14. Vingegaard now holds a 10-second advantage on Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates). Carlos Rodriguez (INEOS Grenadiers) moves up to third place in the GC after winning Stage 14. He’s now 4:43 behind the yellow jersey. Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe) moves to fourth place in the GC, 4:44 back of the lead. Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) is in fifth place, 5:20 behind.

Stage 14 only saw a change of one single second among the two leaders, Vingegaard and Pogačar, but that didn’t mean there weren’t plenty of fireworks. Jumbo-Visma pushed the pace to make it hard on Pogačar, but Pogačar looked to be relatively unfazed by it all. The stage proved that the battle for the yellow jersey will go down to the bitter end between Vingegaard and Pogačar.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 57:47:28
• Carlos Rodríguez (INEOS Grenadiers): -4:43
• Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe): -4:44
• Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates): -5:20
• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 54 points
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 57:47:38

Stage 13 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) held onto the yellow jersey as the leader of the 2023 Tour de France. But the gap between the defending champion and Slovenia’s Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) has narrowed after the Slovenian, winner of the Tour in 2020 and 2021, attacked and then gapped the Dane about 400 meters from the top of the “Beyond Category” Col du Grand Colombier at the end of Stage 14.

Pogačar crossed the line 4 seconds ahead of Vingegaard and in doing so finished third on the stage to take a 4-second time bonus, which cut Vingegaard’s overall advantage to just 9 seconds. With two days in the Alps before Monday’s rest day, expect more fireworks as these two continue their intense fight to win the 2023 Tour de France.

A little less than a minute before the reignition of the Tour’s GC battle, Poland’s Michal Kwiatkowski (INEOS Grenadiers) won the stage after spending all day in the breakaway and attacking what was left of it on the lower slopes of the Grand Colombier. A super-domestique with an impressive resume of his own, the 33-year-old proved too strong for UAE Team Emirates to catch, holding-off Belgium’s Maxim Van Gils (Lotto-Soudal) and then Pogačar to take the second Tour de France stage victory of his career.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 53:48:50
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): -:09
• Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe): -2:51
• Carlos Rodríguez (INEOS Grenadiers): -4:48
• Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates): -5:03
• Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost): 46 points
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 53:48:59'

Stage 12 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) remained in the yellow jersey after a somewhat stressful Stage 12 of the Tour de France. Despite the stress, the GC picture remained mostly unchanged. Vingegaard remains 17 seconds ahead of second place Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates). Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe) is third overall in the GC, 2:40 back.

Thibaut Pinot made a jump into the top ten of the GC, going from 15th to tenth after gaining time on the other GC contenders in the breakaway on Thursday.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 50:30:23
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): -:17
• Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe): -2:40
• Carlos Rodríguez (INEOS Grenadiers): -4:22
• Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious): -4:34
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 50:30:40 (+4:05)

Stage 11 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) continues to lead the 2023 Tour de France after 11 stages. Stage 11 saw no change to the General Classification on a sprint stage, despite a relatively tricky road into the finish.

Vingegaard remains 17 seconds ahead of Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) for the lead in the yellow jersey competition. Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe) is in third, holding down the final podium spot, 2:40 behind Vingegaard. Tuesday’s flat stage is the last true sprinter’s stage until perhaps Stage 19—or even the final Stage 21 in Paris—so we can expect an eventful next week or so as far as the GC is concerned.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 46:34:27
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 46:34:44 (+4:05)

Stage 10 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) held onto the yellow leader’s jersey after Stage 10 of the 2023 Tour de France, leading Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) by 17 seconds. Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe) remains in third place, 2:40 behind Vingegaard. These standings should stay the same after Stage 11, which will likely favor the sprinters.

Stage 10 didn’t see any major GC moves, but that didn’t mean it was an easy day in the saddle for the yellow jersey hopefuls.The peloton held the breakaway in check throughout the day, never giving them too much time. Ultimately, there weren’t any moves on the stage after the rest day from Vingegaard or Pogačar.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 42:33:13
• Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck): 260 points
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 42:33:30 (+4:05)

Stage 9 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) held onto his lead in the 2023 Tour de France, but lost time to Slovenia’s Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) at the end of Sunday’s Stage 9. The stage finished atop the Hors Categorie (“Beyond Category”) Puy de Dôme, an extinct volcano rising above the Massif Central that the Tour hasn’t been climbed by the Tour since 1988.Canada’s Mike Woods (Israel-PremierTech) won the stage.

The former world class distance runner paced himself perfectly from the base of the climb, catching multiple riders left from the day’s big breakaway on the way to his first Tour de France stage victory. France’s Pierre Latour (TotalEnergies) finished second, and Slovenia’s Matej Mohorič (Bahrain Victorious) finished third. But the battle to win the Tour’s General Classification took place over eight minutes later, as Vingegaard and Pogačar continued their duel on the climb’s upper slopes.

Jumbo-Visma did a terrific job of whittling down to the yellow jersey group, but it was Pogačar who took advantage pulling away from Vingegaard about 1,400meters from the summit finish. Vingegaard only lost 8 seconds to the Slovenian, but heading into the first rest day, he now leads the Tour by just 17 seconds. The race to win the 2023 Tour de France is far from over.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): 38:37:46
• Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates): -4:39
• Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck): 259 points
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): 38:38:03

Stage 8 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

There was once again no change in the overall, as Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) continues to lead the 2023 Tour de France. The defending champion has a 25-second advantage on Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), as the peloton prepares to head into a big mountain stage on Sunday.

Simon Yates (Jayco–AlUla) was the lone GC contender to lose time on Stage 8, crashing with about 6K to go in the stage, outside of the 3K safe zone. Yates went from being 3:14 down from the leader Vingegaard to 4:01 after Saturday.

• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): -
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): -:25
• Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe): -1:34
• Carlos Rodríguez (INEOS Grenadiers): -3:30
• Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates): -3:40
• Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck): 258 points
• Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost): 36 points
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): +3:05

Stage 7 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) enjoyed his first day in the yellow leader’s jersey during Stage 7 at the 2023 Tour de France. It was a relatively easy day—despite some intense heat—for the GC contenders in the peloton on Friday’s stage designed for the sprinters.

Vingegaard continues to hold a 25-second GC lead over Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates). The two riders will likely see a major GC clash again on Sunday’s Stage 9 mountain stage. Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe) is 1:34 behind the yellow jersey Vingegaard in third overall.

• Simon Yates (Jayco-AlUla): -3:14
• Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck): 215 points

Stage 6 Leader - Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) took over the lead of the 2023 Tour de France after an eventful Stage 6 that saw the GC contenders battle it out for the stage win and crucial seconds. Vingegaard will wear the yellow jersey on Friday’s Stage 7. He leads second place Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) by 25 seconds in the overall standings after Pogačar won Stage 6. Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe), who wore the yellow jersey on the day, lost time on Thursday and is now in third place in the GC, 1:34 back of the leader.

After Vingegaard dealt a major blow to Pogačar on Stage 5, Pogačar roared back to capture the stage win and prove that the GC is not over yet. Despite Vingegaard moving into the yellow jersey, Stage 6 was much more defined by Pogačar gaining time on Vingegaard than the changing of the guard in the leader’s jersey. It seemed after Stage 5 that the defending champion Vingegaard was clearly the strongest rider in the peloton once again, but Pogačar, a two-time Tour champion in his own right, showed us that it’s a long way to Paris and it could be a fierce battle all the way to the end.

• Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck): 150 points

Stage 5 Leader - Jai Hindley

Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe) took over the lead of the 2023 Tour de France after a brilliant win on Stage 5. Hindley leads the General Classification by 47 seconds (thanks in part to 18 seconds worth of bonuses picked up on Stage 5) over second place overall Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma). Giulio Ciccone (Lidl–Trek) is 1:03 back in third overall and Emanuel Buchmann (Bora–Hansgrohe) is in fourth overall, 1:11 back.

The yellow jersey holder for the first five stages, Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) lost the lead on Wednesday and is now in fifth overall, 1:34 back of the lead. Tadej Pogačar, the co-prerace favorite along with Vingegaard, lost time on Stage 5 and is now in sixth place overall, 1:40 behind the leader Hindley. Vingegaard is 53 seconds ahead of Pogačar.

Stage 5 saw some major GC shakeups. Hindley, the 2022 winner of the Giro d’Italia, sits in yellow with a solid 47-second advantage over Vingegaard. With a grand tour win already under his belt, Hindley has a chance to stay in yellow for a while. Of course, a lot of that depends on the race tactics of Vingegaard and Pogačar, who may likely spar again on a mountainous Stage 6.

• Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe): -
• Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma): -:47
• Giulio Ciccone (Lidl–Trek): -1:03
• Emanuel Buchmann (Bora–Hansgrohe): -1:11
• Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates): -1:34
• Felix Gall (AG2R Citroën): 28 points
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): +:16

Stage 4 Leader - Adam Yates

There was no change in the General Classification standings of the Tour de France after Stage 4. Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) will stay in the yellow jersey another day, holding onto a six second advantage over teammate Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and his twin brother Simon Yates (Jayco–AlUla).

Stage 5 has a good chance to brings some GC fireworks. Pogačar—in second place overall—has an 11-second advantage over Tour de France co-favorite Jonas Vingegaard, who is in sixth place overall. That could change—one way or the other–on Wednesday.

• Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates): -
• Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): -:06
• Simon Yates (Jayco–AlUla): -:06
• Victor Lafay (Cofidis): -:12
• Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma): -:16
• Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost): 18 points

Stage 3 Leader - Adam Yates

Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) continues to lead the 2023 Tour de France. After the first two stages of the Tour de France brought a ton of fireworks and battles between the General Classification contenders, Stage 3 was the first (mostly) flat day for the sprinters.

Yates remains in the lead of the GC still six seconds up over second place Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and third place Simon Yates (Jayco-AlUla). There were no significant losses among the contenders on Stage 3.

• Victor Lafay (Cofidis): 80 points

Stage 2 Leader - Adam Yates

Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) maintained his lead of the 2023 Tour de France after Stage 2. Adam Yates finished 21st on the stage, but finished on the same time as the other top finishers of the day. He now holds the yellow jersey by six seconds over second place Tadej Pogačar, Yates’ UAE Team Emirates teammate. Adam Yates’ twin brother Simon Yates (Jayco-AlUla) is third overall, also six seconds behind.

Pogačar, meanwhile, earned 12 bonus seconds during Stage 2 to widen his lead over GC co-favorite Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), Vingegaard earned five bonus seconds on the day, and currently sits in sixth place in the yellow jersey competition, 17 seconds behind Yates and 11 seconds back of Pogačar. Stage 2 winner Victory Lafay (Cofidis) is now fourth overall in the GC.

• Victor Lafay (Cofidis): 65 points
• Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost): 11 points

Mads Pedersen powers to stage 13 win as Jonas Vingegaard keeps overall lead at Tour de France 2022

The 2019 world champion emerged as the winner after a small bunch sprint in Saint Etienne in a stage that left the top position of the general classification unchanged.

Mads Pedersen (Trek Segafredo) stormed to the first Tour de France stage win of his career in Saint Etienne on Friday (15 July 2022).

The Danish rider, who was road cycling 's world champion in 2019, attacked from the breakaway with 12km to go and then ripped away boldly in the last 250 metres to outsprint Britain's Fred Wright and Hugo Houle of Canada, respectively second and third, to the finish line.

"It's an incredible Tour, to finally take a win...I knew the shape was good, I definitely missed out on some opportunities in the first week. In the last two weeks there weren't many chances for guys like me and to finally take the chance today and get the reward it's really nice," said Pedersen, who clinched his 24th career win. It was also the third victory in four days on the French roads for a Danish rider.

The peloton followed almost 6 minutes behind the winner with Jonas Vingegaard keeping his 2-minute and 22-second lead on Tadej Pogacar in the general standings.

On Saturday, the Tour will travel 192.5km from Saint Etienne to Mende, where the stage ends with a punchy ascent named after French cycling hero Laurent Jalabert.

Tour de France - Stage 13

Long climbing battle set to shake up GC on Grand Colombier summit finish

• Share on Facebook
• Share on Twitter

• Dates 14 Jul
• Race Length 137 kms
• Start Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne
• Finish Grand Colombier
• Race Category Elite Men

The GC hostilities are set to reignite on stage 13 of the Tour de France with a summit finish on the dreaded Col du Grand Colombier. Starting in the idyllic setting of Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne, the race heads due south before turning east and towards the Jura mountains. The road begins to climb through Tenay before an intermediate sprint at Hauteville-Lompnes. A long descent follows as the race reaches the valley and a cluster of small towns at Artemare, Béon and Coloz before the final hors catégorie climb. At 17.4km in length, and with an average gradient of 7.1%, this is a beast of a final ascent and the time gaps could be significant, even at the front of the race where every second will be keenly contested. The climb was first introduced to the Tour de France back in 2012, although it wasn’t a summit finish that year. French fancy Thomas Voeckler was first over the climb and won the stage back then, but the climb has been used several times since, including in 2016 and 2017, with Rafał Majka and Warren Barguil first over the top on those occasions. In 2020 the climb returned once more with its first summit finish appearance, and just like in 2020 the road to the top will decide another mountain stage.

There are in fact four routes to the summit but with the race heading through Coloz the road fluctuates between 7.2% and 10.1% in the early stages before hitting a stretch of 12% after roughly 5km of climbing. Race organisers have opted for the longest route to the top this time around.

What follows is a short respite before the road once more tilts towards the sky for another relentless passage of climbing. The road flattens off just after La Sapette before the climb ramps up again towards the finish. Back in 2020 it was Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) who beat Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) to the line to take his second stage of that year’s race. The time gaps between most of the GC rivals were relatively small then but Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers) cracked completely that day, famously shaking his head before slipping back and losing contact with 13.3km remaining. The Colombian lost over seven minutes on that stage, and effectively any hope of retaining his Tour title, so while the best climbers in the world should be able to match each other, the climb will certainly expose any weaknesses and sort out the true contenders for the yellow jersey.

On this climb in 2020 Jumbo-Visma essentially team time trialled their way to the summit, and the strongest team in this year’s race is likely to employ a very similar tactic this time around. Whether that’s Jumbo-Visma, UAE Team Emirates or another squad remains to be seen, but just like in 2020 we should be treated to an exciting day in the mountains on Bastille Day.

2023 Tour de France: Recap of Stage 13 and Updated General Classification

2023-07-14 15:56:15

The high mountains reappeared this Friday in the 2023 Tour de France, and there were several important changes in the general classification. However, Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) kept the leader’s yellow jersey for another day.

The Pole, road world champion in 2014, achieved his second victory in the grande boucle at the age of 33, after winning the eighteenth stage of the French round in the 2020 season.

Despite remaining in second overall, Pogacar again cut time and is now only nine seconds behind Vingegaard, who crossed the finish line at the legendary Grand Colombier in fourth place. Likewise, the Slovenian was consolidated in the classification of young people.

Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers), for his part, dressed as a gregarious man again and helped his teammate Carlos Rodríguez to defend himself in the last port, while Tejada had an outstanding performance and finished the fraction in eighth place.

The Zipaquireño cyclist continues to be the best Colombian rider in the most important race in world cycling and is partially ranked 26th in the individual general classification.

“Being able to walk was my goal, I didn’t think about being on the Tour. I want to continue being a cyclist and recover my best level”, declared Bernal, after finishing the day at the Grand Colombier.

This Saturday stage 14 of the 2023 Tour de France will take place between Annemasse and Morzine Les Portes. The day will have a route of 152 kilometers and will have five high mountain passes.
