Wouter Poels of Team Sky retained the Maillot Gris for the second day in a row, despite finishing 101st on the stage. We’re not sure how that math works to allow that, whether the overall time changes were small enough or balanced enough, Woot holds onto the Point d’Appui after Stage 13.
Other competitors near the middle include Markel Irizar of Trek Factory Racing, who won the 2011 Tour Point d’Appui, and Rohan Dennis of BMC Racing Team, who held the fulcrum after Stage 11.
On the other hand, the Lanterne Rouge since Stage 4, Michael Matthews of Orica GreenEdge, finished 17th on the stage and gained two places, handing last place to Sam Bennett of Bora-Argon 18.
Chris Froome still holds the yellow jersey, close behind the top finishers at Rodez.
