- Ineos rider claims solo win on Grand Colombier summit finish
- Tadej Pogacar makes up eight seconds on leader with late burst
Michal Kwiatkowski took a solo victory on stage 13 of the Tour de France, as Tadej Pogacar turned the screw a little further on his rival, the defending champion Jonas Vingegaard, by clawing back eight more seconds.
Kwiatkowski, a former world road race champion and also a Tour stage winner in 2020 at La Roche-sur-Foron, moved ahead of the day’s breakaway 12km from the finish at the top of the Grand Colombier climb, overlooking Culoz in the Ain department. The 33-year-old Ineos Grenadiers rider was the last survivor of a lead group that had cracked apart at the foot of the climb.
