Between the two mountain stages is a mountain Time Trial, climbing most of the road to the Peyresourde Pass, before turning towards the finish on the 15% slope of the runway of the βJames Bondβ altiport of the Peyresourde ski resort.
I add a link to the PCS profile because the official one doesn't look like they will be climbing a mountain pass https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tour-de-france/2025/stage-13/info/profiles π
White Jersey race is the Yellow Jersey race, it's heating up!
Evenepoel took a TT bike but basically never used the areobars. That's the worst possible idea: carrying those things for nothing, and spending all the time on the shitty lower bar that is only meant to be used less than 10% of the time.
Good performance by Roglitch. I am just a bit disappointed that he didn't show up wearing a floral speedo.
Roglic must have felt extra motivated after Lipowitz pulled away from him in the GC yesterday. Interesting dynamics in that team where their two strongest riders just seem to be riding for themselves rather than cooperating.
I like your tour de France posts! Thanks for doing them! I only follow tour de France a bit.
Ps: who ever down votes sports posts, will go to hell along with those who post only politics!
