Tour de France: Michal Kwiatkowski wins atop Grand Colombier as Tadej Pogacar trims gap to Jonas Vingegaard

Michal Kwiatkowski delivered some overdue joy for Ineos Grenadiers with a brilliant solo win atop Grand Colombier on Stage 13 as Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) trimmed the gap to Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) in the yellow jersey with a blistering last-gasp attack.

Tadej Pogacar confused by Jumbo-Visma tactics at Tour de France on Stage 12 – 'Strange to see'

Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) admits Jumbo-Visma's tactics on Thursday were «strange to see» after watching his rivals throw everything at getting a rider in the day's breakaway. With Jonas Vingegaard in the yellow jersey, and three big days in the mountains to come, it was perhaps surprising to see Jumbo-Visma so committed to animating Stage 12 from the off – with Wout van Aert, Wilco Kelderman and Tiesj Benoot all enjoying sustained stints off the front. Ad Such was the unrelenting and furious nature of the start that Vingegaard was forced to ride aggressively to put out fires his team-mates could not, potentially depleting his energy stores.

Tom Pidcock 'stuck' between chasing GC and stage wins at Tour de France – Luke Rowe backs podium push

Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) is «stuck» between pursuing a high overall finish at the 2023 Tour de France and chasing stage wins, according to his team-mate Luke Rowe, who backed the British star to fight for a podium spot.
