Philipsen Wins Stage 13 of Tour de France

Jasper Philipsen of Alpecin-Deceuninck secured his second stage win of the 2024 Tour de France in Stage 13, narrowly avoiding a crash near the finish and beating compatriot Wout van Aert. The flat stage from Agen to Pau was disrupted by a pile-up that affected many riders, though Tadej Pogacar maintained his overall lead. Eritrean Biniam Girmay retained the green jersey after finishing fourth. Meanwhile, Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard won Stage 11 following a fierce battle with Pogacar in the Massif Central, marking a significant comeback after his April crash. Pogacar continues to hold the yellow jersey with a narrow lead over Remco Evenepoel.
