Schmid wins the longest stage of the Tour in a sprint in Belfort

Swiss cyclist Mauro Schmid won stage 13 of the 2026 Tour de France on Friday, which ran from Dole to Belfort and measured 205.8 kilometers. In the longest stretch of this year's edition, he beat Colombian Harold Tejada in the final two-man sprint. teraz.sk ↗

The stage was decided in a large breakaway, which gradually grew to include almost sixty riders. Schmid and Tejada separated from their rivals after an attack on the descent from Ballon d'Alsace, one of the historic climbs of the Tour de France. The Swiss rider then claimed the biggest success of his career at the finish. sport.sk ↗

Third place went to Briton Tom Pidcock, who also used the course of the stage to move up in the overall standings. He gained almost eight minutes on the main favorites and moved up to fourth place. German rider Florian Lipowitz is seventh after the stage. The biggest favorites arrived at the finish later and did not factor into the fight for the stage win. El Mundo ↗

The success of riders from the breakaway was the third such case in this year's Tour. On Saturday, the peloton faces the mountainous 14th stage from Mulhouse to Le Markstein Fellering, 155.3 kilometers long, which could once again significantly affect the standings ahead of the race's continuation. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
