After a few days of GC stalemates, the 2023 Tour de France is set to explode again on Friday when Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar resume their squabble over yellow. It's a simple stage – nice and easy, then wham, a whopper of a climb arrives with the Grand Colombier. Who will be in yellow at the summit? Here's everything you need to know ahead of Friday's unmissable outing in the mountains.
Ineos star Rowe 'very surprised' by Jumbo-Visma's aggressive defence of yellow jersey
On the French national holiday of Quatorze Juillet the race enters the Jura mountains for a summit finish on the fearsome Grand Colombier (17.4km at 7.1%) where the then defending champion Egan Bernal cracked in 2020.
The sport’s landscape has changed dramatically since Bernal last rode the Tour, with Tadej Pogacar, Primoz Roglic and Jonas Vingegaard dominating the battle for yellow ever since. Still somewhat short of his best, Bernal will hope at least to bury his demons on what will be the first GC showdown of the second week.
What the Grand Colombier lacks in altitude (it’s only 1,501m high) it makes up in Galibier-level difficulty, 12% ramps, and wondrous views if the weather is playing ball. And given this is a short stage without any serious obstacles until the final climb, we could see fireworks.
A reminder: Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) starts Stage 13 with a 17-second lead over Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates). We're in for a wild ride.
Eurosport's Felix Lowe was hard at work pre-Tour and has lots for you to feast your eyes on. Head here for his bumper team guide, over this way for his yellow jersey guide and ratings (i.e. Jonas Vingegaard v Tadej Pogacar), or in this direction for his guide to the key stages.
