Hello and welcome to this live blog. Here I, Thom van de Loosdrecht, keep you informed of stage 13 in the Tour, where the riders get a tough time trial. Have fun!
Team leader Niermann Over Vingegaard: ‘He will continue to fight’ Jonas Vingegaard finished second in the time trial, but lost 36 seconds on Pogacar in the general classification. “We wanted to win this course, but our opponent is too good. Vingegaard has recovered nicely after yesterday,” says team leader, of Visma Lease a Bike, Grischa Niermann. “Yesterday the values of Vingegaard were not good either. The mental will also play. We can be satisfied with today.”
Arensman goes for stage victory tomorrow: ‘No chance against Pogacar’ Thymen Arensman finished 29th in the time trial, but that was mainly because he saved himself. “I took it easy, because you have no chance against Pogacar. So I especially enjoyed it,” he said at the NOS . “I was also told that I had to enjoy the views. You dreamed of this as a little boy. But now cycling and tomorrow in the leading group. Hope we will get a little more time and I can go for a stage victory.”
Pogacar after a new stage victory in Tour: ‘I drove without a radio and went full for’ Tadej Pogacar was another class in a Tour stage. “In fact, this time trial was a question mark for me when the route became known. In the end I chose to go all the way and without a radio. I looked at the times along the course,” said the Slovenian after the stage. Pogacar did suffer from fatigue at the end. “I almost blew myself up. I saved myself to be able to fill up again at the end.”
Finish! With 37 seconds ahead, Pogacar wins the time trial: 23.00.19 minutes he took the time trial. He is another class and is almost assured of the Tour victory.
Finish! Vingegaard sets the fastest time with 23.36.88 minutes. Just before the Evenepoel line, he brings in an eleventh time with 25.39.98 minutes.
Evenepoel has Viincoel in sight and that means that the Dane has closed for almost two minutes. Pogacar seems like a class of its own, but is still ample behind Vingegaard.
Vingegaard looks a bit like Toad with his helmet.
Roglic can take a seat in the Hot Seat .
Evenepoel has a switching problem and that is very annoying on a climb. He looks around irritated.
Second measuring point – that’s how it says after the second measuring point:
Finish! After three hours, Plapp really has to leave the Hot Seat (or comment position). Roglic is 37 seconds than the Australian: 24.20.97.
Finish! Plapp has set a strong time, because Jorgenson is also broken in time. He is 4.5 seconds slower than the Australian. There are still many fast riders coming.
First measuring point – It is again Pogacar that is the fastest at the first measuring point. He is 4 seconds faster than Evenepoel and he picks up for 8 seconds.
First measuring point – Jonas Vingegaard loses 3 seconds on Evenepoel in the first 4 kilometers. Pogacar also seems quickly on the road and also comes close to the first measuring point.
First measuring point – Evenepoel is the fastest at the first measuring point: 5.33.40 minutes. He is ten seconds faster than Jorgenson. In the meantime, Roglic is the fastest at the second measuring point. The time of Plapp is going quickly.
Start! And also the last rider, Pogacar, is on the way. He doesn’t do it on a time trial bike. Nice contrast between the top three.
Start! Vingegaard is also on the way on a time trial bike. The real violence is really going now!
Start! The top three will start the time trial. Evenepoel is going hard on his time trial bike.
He went for it, but Yates was just short of the fastest time.
First measuring point – We have a new fastest time there! Jorgenson is 8 seconds faster than Plapp after 4 kilometers. It remains to be seen whether the American can keep this up.
Finish! Arensman ends at 27.04.02 minutes and therefore with the twelfth time so far. There is little chance that he will reach the top twenty today.
Second Meetingpunt – Arensman is so far the best Dutchman at an eleventh time at the second measuring point: 16.44.90. It is striking that in the final phase most time is lost by the riders.
Finish! Yates does not manage and is ultimately 17 seconds slower than Plapp: 25.15.62 minutes.
Harry Sweeny has canceled the time trial on the images.
Second Meetingpunt – Adam Yates is Plapp on the heels at the second measuring point. He is four seconds slower than the Australian was there. Will there be a new fastest time soon?
Finish! Mathieu van der Poel His agony is on it. With 29.04.93, he sets down the seventieth time so far. He seems to be good for the time limit.
He is one of the most bustling riders to date: Quinn Simons. He also shakes the hands of the audience.
Start! Another Dutchman, Thymen Arensman, has also started the time trial. There is a good chance that he will be the best classified Dutchman today.
Remco Evenepoel warms himself up to fight for the victory.
Plapp has now traded in his hot seat for the commentary position.
Teunissen must fear for time limit: ‘Cycling not only for Van der Poel and Van Aert’ Mike Teunissen took four minutes longer than Plapp on the time trial. He therefore fears the time limit. “It’s bizarre. The level of the climbers is really high,” he says at the NOS . “We as non-riders have to come along with that. That is not always well understood. It is good that they have stretched the time limit. We should not want cycling only for sixty kilos and Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert.”
First measuring point – Van der Poel sets the 27th time at the first measuring point: 6.22.62. So it is really survival for the Dutchman.
Start! For Mathieu van der Poel today it is also survival today. He started the time trial, which is not made for him.
Tim Merlier put down the second worst time so far and is afraid that he will not get the time limit. “This tour has also been very tough. The decompression is a bit in it. You start, you try and you feel it is not going. Then you have to burn a candle on the bus,” he said at Sporza .
Just like us, these fans mainly wait for Pogacar.
Second measuring point – It seems that Van Aert is running back on the savings position. At the second measuring point he sets a time of 17,40.26 minutes. That is the 26th time so far in that place.
Start! Wout van Aert is on the road in the time trial. We are going to see how good he will be in this specific time trial.
What would the riders would like to take the cable car today.
Finish! It gets very close, but with 25.21.93 minutes Lenny Martinez is 23 seconds slower than Plapp. It is striking that the last 300 meters are incredibly heavy and riders take a very long time.
Girmay celebrated the survival of the time trial by shaking hands from the audience.
Finish! It is really waiting for the big names to start, because the top ten seems to be competing for the stage win. Matis Louvel rode pretty nice (29.06.00), but had to go to the finish to make it easier. The Frenchman was completely through it.
In the meantime, Luke Plapp is still in the Hot Seat .
Finish! The Tour de France looks like Bryan Coquard. He still dared to ride a time trial with his hand in the context, but sees himself as in a danger in the peloton. So there is little chance that he will start tomorrow.
Plapp had to go deep for his time, but so far it stands head and shoulders above this time trial.
Finish! Girmay even drives past the audience to shake some hands. The sprinter did more than half an hour over the time trial.
Finish! There is a first really serious time: 24.58.44 from Luke Plapp. He is therefore almost three minutes faster than the previous fastest time of 27.49.88 Van Lennert van Eetvelt.
Finish! The fastest two times now come from two Belgians: Lennert van Eetveld and Vito Braet. Van Eetveld is 20 seconds faster than Braet with 27.49.88 and 28.10.04 minutes.
This tour also produces beautiful images.
The first rider, Vercher, was the first to be upstairs and celebrated that with a nice stunt.
Finish! Van Sintmaartensdijk is so far the fastest on the finish with 29.12.73. That says little, because at the second measuring point there are four riders faster including Mick van Dijke.
The audience on the side also makes it a wonderful day. Watching a French lunch plus tour de France, are there better Fridays?
Second Measurement Point – Van Sintmaartensdijk sets the fastest time at the second measuring point: 18.15.87. He is therefore 10 seconds faster than Edward Theuns.
First measuring point – The first riders are well on the road and working on the Peyragudes (8 kilometers to 7.9%). The first measuring point is even for the big climb. Jordi Meeus is the fastest there so far with 6,14.82 minutes. Van Sintmaartensdijk came there after 6.38.22 minutes.
Still news from the course, because the time limit has been adjusted to 40 percent. That gives the sprinters more time to be up time.
Start! Roel van Sintmaartensdijk is also on the road, the first Dutchman. It is also important to stay within the time limit of 33 percent of the time of the winner.
Start! Vercher started this Tour Day and started his fight against the clock and the altimeters.
Mattéo Vercher will soon get rid of the rush. He will be the first rider to start at 1.10 pm. The Frenchman was previously on a stage after he and Mathieu Burgaudeau received the prize for the most combative rider in stage 8. It was the walking stage, in which little happened for the rest.
The starting times are based on the general classification, so the big favorites only come at the end of the afternoon. These are the starting times of the largest contenders.
Remco Evenepoel fell through the ice yesterday, but in general the Belgian is a good time rider. So he is one of the outsiders for today’s stage victory.

This was the image of the first mountain stage in this Tour.
The first Dutchman to take action today is Roel van Sintmaartensdijk. He starts the time trial at 1.12 pm. These are the starting times of all Dutch people:
Today a lot of climbing, because there is a short time trial of 10.9 kilometers on the program, but with 635 altimeters. Can Vingegaard give something back? Whether Pogacar perhaps the Tour perhaps early?
What a day it was yesterday in the Tour de France! Tadej Pogacar again grabbed the yellow and competitor Jonas Vingegaard drove 3.30 minutes in the general classification. Nobody expected the Slovenian to be so strong.

So we can be satisfied with today.”
Arensman Will Go for Stage Win Tomorrow: ‘No Chance Instinst Pogacar Anyway’ Thymen Arensman Finished 29th in the Time Trial, but that was mainly because he spared himself. “I Took it easy, because you don’t stand a Chance Against Pogacar Anyway. So I Mainly Enjoyed It,” He said to the nos . “I was also to Enjoy the views. You dreamed of this as a little boy. But now cooling down and Join the Leading Group Tomorrow.
