Tour de France 2025 live: Stage 13 result and standings as Tadej Pogacar hammers rivals on Peyragudes time trial

“It was okay,” Oscar Onley says of his ride. “I was suffering a bit after yesterday which is normal, I think. Just looking at the times now and it looks like we’re all suffering a little bit. I did what I could.

“The steep runway at the end, you really had to hold back a bit which is quite difficult because the rest of the climb was an uncomfortable gradient. It wasn’t an easy TT to manage.”

He says he made the right choice to go for his road bike. “I struggle quite a bit on the TT bike, for sure I can’t put out the same bike as my road bike position, so when you can get this down as light as possible, it makes quite a big difference.

“Thanks for reminding me,” he smiles, when the interviewer mentions tomorrow’s stage.

1. Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG), in 45:22:51
2. Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike), +4’07”
3. Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step), +7’24”
4. Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe), +7’30”
5. Oscar Onley (Picnic PostNL), +8’11”
6. Kevin Vauquelin (Arkea-B&B Hotels), +8’15”
7. Primoz Roglic (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe), +8’50”
8. Tobias Halland Johannessen (Uno-X Mobility), +10’36”
9. Felix Gall (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale), +11’43”
10. Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike), +14’15”

That’s Pogacar’s fourth stage win of this Tour, two back-to-back after yesterday atop Hautacam, bringing him to 21. Just 14 off Mark Cavendish’s record. Time to come out of retirement, Mark.

Time for a chat for today’s winner, and every day’s winner, Tadej Pogacar, as he warms down.

“Super happy, this time trial was quite a big question mark already in December for me,” he says. “I wanted everything to be perfect and the team delivered. I started the day good, had an easy day in the good, nice preparation and I was really targeting to do from start to finish all out and try to smash as much as possible on the pedals. I almost blew up in the end but I saw the timer on the top and it gave me an extra push because I saw that I’m gonna win.

“This was the biggest decision to make, which bike today. Obviously we’re racing on road bikes most of the year, 99% of the time, so in the end we did calculations and I decided to be more comfortable, riding the last 12 stages on the same bike.”

1. Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) in 23’00”
2. Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike), +36”
3. Primoz Roglic (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe), +1’20”
4. Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe), +1’56”
5. Luke Plapp (Jayco AlUla), +1’58”
6. Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike) +2’03”
7. Oscar Onley (Picnic PostNL) +2’06”
8. Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) +2’15”
9. Lenny Martinez (Bahrain Victorious) +2’21”
10. Felix Gall (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) +2’22”

That astonishing ride has extended Pogacar’s lead by 36 seconds to 4’07” over Vingegaard, while Remco Evenepoel is clinging onto third place overall by just six seconds, ahead of Florian Lipowitz.

Evenepoel lost 2’39” to Pogacar today.

Two stages in a row for Tadej Pogacar, who smashes Vingegaard’s already-impressive time, putting another huge chunk of time into both the Dane and absolutely everybody else.

The yellow jersey finishes in 23 minutes flat, 36” quicker than Vingegaard.

This is astonishing. The world and Olympic time trial champion is having an awful day. Vingegaard is just metres behind him and the Dane started two minutes behind him…

Vingegaard catches him with mere metres to go and comes off his wheel. Poor Evenepoel. Vingegaard smashes Roglic’s time, 44” quicker than Roglic.

Vauquelin finishes eighth, 1’22” down on Roglic, and that means Oscar Onley leapfrogs the Frenchman into fifth overall!

Florian Lipowitz has been absolutely flying and he finishes 35” down on his teammate Roglic, in provisional second, and the German is making real gains on Evenepoel in both the white jersey and podium battle.

Evenepoel is having a terrible time and Vingegaard is gaining on him; the Soudal Quick-Step car has been pulled out and that means Vingegaard may make the catch.

Today’s climb features tomorrow as well, at least partially: rather than swinging off to the altiport at Peyragudes, the riders tackle the whole Col de Peyresourde.

It’s a cat-one at an average of 7.8% for 7.1km, and it comes after the Col du Tourmalet and Col d’Aspin. Ouch. Let’s see if Quinn Simmons will look quite so cheery on that climb.
