The riders will face a real mountain stage, the hardest of this Tour if we refer to the vertical drop: 4400 m.
Slovenian Primoz Roglic (Jumbo Visma) is still the bearer of the yellow jersey, ahead of Egan Bernal (Ineos) and Frenchman Guillaume Martin (Cofidis).
Thursday, during the 12th stage, it was the Swiss Marc Hirschi (Sunweb) who won ahead of the French Pierre Rolland.

A course that will hurt a lot with its 4400 m of elevation gain.
Thierry Gouvenou, the technical director of the Tour, traced this difficult stage by examining the data of the Strava application, used by 75% of the riders in the professional peloton and thousands of amateurs.
He did the same in 2019 during the 8th stage leading to Saint-Etienne (3800 m of elevation gain) won by the Belgian Thomas De Gendt (Lotto Soudal) and which allowed Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck - Quick Step) to take back the yellow jersey.
