Stage 13 Breakdown:

Stage 13 take the riders on a short but mountainous journey from Châtillon-Sur-Chalaronne up to the summit of Grand Colombier. Despite the short length of just under 138km, the final mountain will likely seperate the general classification riders from the rest of the field with a solid margin, as they battle for positions in the classification.

The final climb up Grand Colombier has an impressive length of 17.4km, with an average gradient of 7,1%, including multiple sections of double digits gradient. The summit is towering 1501m amsl, providing a solid challenge for many riders. It is expected to become a fight between Vingegaard and Pogacar, and this could become a crucial stage in the classification!

Tour Manager:
Etappe 13 er kort, men inneholder en finale opp ikoniske Grand Colombier. Det er ikke noen innlagte kategoriserte fjell og dermed heller ingen poeng i klatretrøyen før siste fjellet, denne er der i mot av HC kategori. Dette betyr at alle poengene på dagens etappe (utenom den ene innlagte spurten) ligger på toppen av Grand Colombier. Alt ligger til rette for en duell blant sammenlagtrytterne, så her er det bare å få inn de mest klatresterke sammenlagtrytterne på laget.
