Will Tadej Pogacar extend his advantage over his Tour de France rivals - or will his crash on stage 11 hamper him on today’s brutal time trial?

Stage 13 of the Tour de France will take place on Friday, July 18th, as Tadej Pogacar looks to maintain control of the lead.

T adej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) stamped his authority on the Tour de France as the race visited the high mountains for the first time, attacking 12km from the top of Hautacam to score a dominant solo stage 12 victory.

Yates, who claimed his second Grand Tour title at the Giro d'Italia in June, timed his attack superbly on the final ascent of the 165.3km stage from Ennezat to Le Mont-Dore Puy de Sancy after being part of a long-range breakaway. Welcome back to BBC Sport's live text coverage of the Tour de France.

The 2025 Tour de France returns to action with a short Stage 11 on Wednesday after a well-earned rest day. The riders will take on a 156.8-kilometer loop that begins and ends in Toulouse, located in southwestern France. With fresh legs, tight roads, and steep climbs in the finale, Stage 11 is primed for fireworks from the start.
