Basque rider victorious for Cofidis in Belleville-en-BeaujolaisJonas Vingegaard stays first overall, ahead of Tadej Pogacar
The Basque rider Ion Izagirre, riding for Cofidis, won stage 12 of the 2023 Tour de France, from Roanne to Belleville-en-Beaujolais in the Rhone, after a solo attack in the final 30km. It was his team’s second success in this year’s Tour, following the French rider Victor Lafay’s win in San Sebastián, on stage two.
After another frantic opening to the stage, in which multiple riders fought to escape the peloton, the race eventually settled down, but only after close to 80km of attacking, with two main groups battling for control of the situation.
