The high mountains reappeared this Friday in the 2023 Tour de France, and there were several important changes in the general classification. However, Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) kept the leader’s yellow jersey for another day.

The Pole, road world champion in 2014, achieved his second victory in the grande boucle at the age of 33, after winning the eighteenth stage of the French round in the 2020 season.
Despite remaining in second overall, Pogacar again cut time and is now only nine seconds behind Vingegaard, who crossed the finish line at the legendary Grand Colombier in fourth place. Likewise, the Slovenian was consolidated in the classification of young people.
Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers), for his part, dressed as a gregarious man again and helped his teammate Carlos Rodríguez to defend himself in the last port, while Tejada had an outstanding performance and finished the fraction in eighth place.
The Zipaquireño cyclist continues to be the best Colombian rider in the most important race in world cycling and is partially ranked 26th in the individual general classification.
“Being able to walk was my goal, I didn’t think about being on the Tour. I want to continue being a cyclist and recover my best level”, declared Bernal, after finishing the day at the Grand Colombier.
This Saturday stage 14 of the 2023 Tour de France will take place between Annemasse and Morzine Les Portes. The day will have a route of 152 kilometers and will have five high mountain passes.
