Everything you need to know about the race and its side with the thirteenth stage between Loudenvielle and Peyragudes.
The profile of the stage: Loudenvielle-Peyragudes (10.9 km)
The second (and last) individual time trial. For this thirteenth stage, the Tour de France remains in the Pyrenees, with a test against time, short, but steep: 10.9 kilometers planned between Loudenvielle and Peyragudes (Hautes-Pyrénées). The first three kilometers will be simple, before a rise of 8 kilometers to 7.9%, including passages up to 16% in the last hectometers. The best climbers will undoubtedly have to play victory this Friday. It remains to be seen whether the differences will be important between the different favorites!
