Christian Prudhomme on stage 12: “The formation of the breakaway will be one of the critical moments on this hilly stage,” writes the race director in the Tour handbook. “As the race passes through the vineyards that produce the Beaujolais vintages, there could well be a lot of action before the climbs of the Croix Montmain and Croix Rosier. The uphill finale may well produce an excellent sprint contest between a small group of riders.”
Yellow: Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma)
Green: Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck)
Polka-dot: Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost)
White: Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates)
