The peloton will leave the Alps this Friday, heading for the Loire, crossing the Rhône valley. This 13th stage of the Tour de France does not concentrate any roughness. It will be for some, the rollers and sprinters who run after the green jersey, to distinguish themselves with a good finish in the sprint.
On Thursday, 22-year-old British rider Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) won the 12th stage of L’Alpe-d’Huez (Isère) after 165.1 km. He is also now the youngest rider to have won this mythical stage, at only 22 years old The Danish rider Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) kept his yellow jersey.
