The sprinters should enjoy another shot at victory at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France as the peloton h🍌eads into Pau but they will have to work for it due to a 🍃rolling final 40 km of the stage.

The sprinters' tಞeams have usually outnumbered and out powered the attackers in the 2024 Tour de France but the rolling hills near Pau w😼ill surely spark attacks and test the sprinters. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Biniam Girmay sealed his third sprint win on the previous day's stage 12 run-in to Villeneuve-sur-Lot, while also winning in Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises on st♔age 8 and into Torino on stage 3. He is surely a contender for a fourth win in Pau.

He also has a stronghold in the green jersey competition with 328 points. Also in contention for the green jersey is 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck), who has 2♍21 points, and Anthony Turgis (TotalEnergies), who has 141.

While Girmay will be the rider to beat on stage 13, three are a couple of riders who m๊ight be looking for redemption after being relegated from the stage 12 sprint.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan) and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Arnaud Démare (Arkéa-B&B Hotels) were both relegated from the top🔴 five to the back of the bunch du🔴e to irregular sprinting, and while Démare would prefer toꦉ think positively and look ahead to the next opportunity, Cavendish was disappointed in the ruling and felt that it was unfair.

Whatever their respective positions on the matter, both will want to secure theꦫ win in Pau, if they can survive the late climbs. 

💫Démare will have fond memories ꩵof sprinting in Pay, as in 2018, he took the win ahead of Christophe Laporte in Pau in a bunch sprint, delivering a French 1-2 finish at the Tour for the first time in 40 years.

Cavendish, on the other hand, has had an outstanding Tour de France, achieving a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:record-breaking 35th stage win at the French Grand Tour on stage 5 into Saint Vulbas. He will undoubtedly be🐼 loo꧋king for win number 36 at the Tour de France.

There are other sprinters to look out for, too; Philipsen and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Dylan Groenewegen (Jayco AlUla), will be looking to add another stage win at this event, and riders like Wout 🔥van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike), Pascal Ackermann (Israel-Premier Tech), Arnaud De Lie (Lotto Dstny), Fernando Gaviria (Movistar) and Alexander Kristoff (Uno-X Mobility) will want to turn their podium places into stage victories.

Stage 13 information

Starting in Agen, stage 13 will take the peloton in the Pyrénées with a finish in Pau. The somewhat flat terrain should deliver another bunch sp꧃rint with the sprinters&rsquo♛; teams closely monitoring the day’s break. 

However, the hilly terrain in the final 40 kilometres, with the ascents of Côte de Blachon (1.5km at 6.9%) and Côte de Simacourbe (1.8km at 6.4%) coulജd pose a problem for those fast men who don’t feel comfortable in the hills.
