sportsJul 17, 202622236

Swiss rider Mauro Schmid (Jayco AlUla) won Stage 13 of the Tour de France on Friday, July 17, outsprinting Colombia's Harold Tejada (Astana) after a two-man finish in Belfort. The 205 km stage from Dole to Belfort was the longest of this Tour and produced Schmid's first Tour stage victory. Schmid and Tejada broke clear from a 10-rider lead group with 16 kilometres to go and cooperated until the final kilometre, where Tejada launched first and Schmid hauled him back to edge the sprint. Briton Tom Pidcock finished third, two seconds behind, and collected four bonus seconds; Pidcock moved up six places in the general classification to fourth overall and sits 4 minutes 15 seconds behind race leader Tadej Pogacar and nine seconds off Remco Evenepoel in third. The main peloton arrived 7 minutes 32 seconds after Schmid. Earlier in the stage 57 riders had escaped from the peloton and built a lead of over eight minutes as green jersey contenders contested intermediate sprint points.

Photographers at the Tour de France scout every kilometer of the race months ahead of time and have to constantly battle with the cops to be allowed to move around the course. I spent a day with them to see how they do their ultra-demanding jobs. defector.com/a-chaotic-da...

At around 4pm local time today, the Tour de France will past through Thibaut Pinot’s hometown of Mélisey, where he now runs a farm of almost 300 animals “Farming teaches you to let go,” he said. Full story below www.cyclingweekly.com/racing/tour-...

July is the best time to (re)read Aerodynamic! No one asked, but today's TdF stage had distinct gentlebeard vibes. Well, colours 😅 (competitors-to-lovers cycling au when)

Pidcock catapults up the GC 💨 Tom Pidcock's brilliant ride to third on Stage 13 sees him jump six places into fourth overall, with just 38 seconds covering the riders from third to seventh in the Tour de France general classification.

Just caught up on the Tour de France finish. Even when it's not a stage for Tadej it stinks. Awful crash, Merlier a different class, and Philipsen with zero burst in his legs again. Might end up being the wackest Tour since Lance.

💡 Mads Pedersen is the only rider to have scored points in every intermediate sprint of the 2026 Tour de France so far. In total, he has scored 218 out of a maximum of 300 points across the 12 intermediate sprints in the first 13 stages. #TDF2026

Tomorrow's Tour de France stage looks like an absolute piece of piss. Think I might pop over there and do it on my Raleigh Grifter in the morning then back home for fish fingers chips and peas and a can of Tizer in the evening.
