Die 13. Etappe der Tour de France 2023 führt von Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne nach Grand Colombier.
On the French bank holidays, the Tour de France climbing specialists are hoping for a mountain festival on the Grand Colombier.
After a flat start to the 13th stage on Friday near Lyon, the riders have to conquer the finish hill in the Jura mountains at an altitude of just under 1500 metres without any complicated climbs. In total, a mini route of 137.8 kilometres awaits them. For the second time in Tour history, the finish will be on the Colombier.
In 2020, the result had served as a template for the later overall result: cycling superstar Tadej Pogacar climbed the mountain ahead of his Slovenian compatriot Primoz Roglic.
