Stage 13 - Friday, July 14th - 101 km

The Stage

Today is Bastille Day in France and the country will once again be hoping for a French winner. Thomas Voeckler will be on camera more than any other rider today even though there are four other French riders with a better shot at this.

With 101 kilometres this is the shortest stage in the Tour since halfstages were a thing. That distance contains three category 1 climbs however and we'll likely see attacks and GC sparring from start to finish; many riders won't be happy with this at all. Might we see a Chris Froome and Michal Kwiatkowski duo descent to the finish? It would be nice to see Alejandro Valverde have a final hurrah here.

Winner: Warren Barguil
