Tadej Pogacar of Slovenia still leads the 2025 Tour de France, wearing the yellow jersey heading into Stage 13. Pogacar is 2’10” ahead of second-place Jonas Vingegaard and 2’23” ahead of Florian Lipowitz in third.

As a three-time Tour de France winner, Pogacar knows what he must do to maintain the lead, as we are now over halfway through the 21 stages of the Tour de France.

Vingegaard is a tough challenger as he is a two-time champion himself, but he must make a comeback in order to pass up the defending title holder.

Stage 13 is an uphill battle, but it is nothing Pogacar can not handle. He bounced back from a crash in Stage 11 to dominate Stage 12. If he can once again capitalize on Friday, it would put him in a great position to win his fourth Tour de France.

This is the biggest and most entertaining cycling event of the year that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
