After the difficult stages in the Alps, the stars of the industry can take a breather on the 13th stage of the 109th Tour de France.
Over 192.6 kilometers from Le Bourg d’Oisans to Saint-Etienne, only two mountains of the third category and one of the second category await on Friday. The sprinters have one of the few chances of a mass finish.
But the sprinter teams would have to work for that, because breakaways could hope for a stage win. Like in 2019, when Belgian Thomas De Gendt triumphed single-handedly in Saint-Etienne.
