The climbers awaken from a four-day respite as stage 13 features five categorized climbs and very little flat roadway. The stage includes the Tour’s first climb of the Category 1 Col du Platzerwasel from the north, which should create a significant selection in the peloton ahead of the Category 3 Col du Bannstein and the Category 1 Col du Firstplan, whose summit comes 20.5km before the finish in Colmar. With the Alps looming on the horizon, an opportunistic breakaway may find itself arriving first into the wine capital of the Alsace region.
