Tour de France 2026 Classifications Update Stage 13 - Tom Pidcock enters the fight for podium after magical breakaway
CyclingFriday, 17 July 2026 at 18:08
The 2026 Tour de France classifications will shift across three weeks of racing, from the Grand Départ in Barcelona on 4 July to the final stage in Paris on 26 July. Across time trials, sprint stages, breakaway opportunities and the high mountains, each day can alter the shape of the race for yellow and the Tour’s other major jerseys. Here we look at the race's classifications and update them on the daily - including the fight for the yellow jersey.
This live classifications hub is updated after each stage of the 2026 Tour de France with the latest General Classification, Points Classification, Mountains Classification and Best Young Rider standings. As the race develops, it tracks the key movements in the fight for the yellow jersey, green jersey, polka-dot jersey and white jersey.
The General Classification remains the central battle of the Tour, but the wider standings often tell their own stories as the race moves through different terrain. Sprint stages can reshape the points competition, mountain days can transform the polka-dot jersey fight, and the white jersey battle can change quickly when young contenders are tested across repeated days of pressure.
With 21 stages and four major jersey competitions to follow, the Tour de France standings can change through time gaps, bonus seconds, breakaway moves, sprint points, mountain points and decisive race incidents. This page will follow those changes throughout the 2026 Tour de France.

General Classification Standings after Stage 13
The overall classification has changed significantly this Friday. The stage wasn't meant for the GC riders, but as happens in Grand Tours, the fight for the Top10 can often be heavily influenced by successful breakaways. That is what happened today on the race's longest stage.
As he did last year, TotalEnergies' Jordan Jegat once again managed to sneak into the right group and has gained over 7 minutes to the peloton today, climbing into 11th place. He would've in fact climbed into the Top10 most likely, if only he hadn't been joined by one of his direct rivals in the group of over 50 riders up front.
Tom Pidcock was 10th at the start of the day and he was the grand winner from the day. 7:30 minutes on the road, plus bonifications, were the Briton's gains. Provisionally, at one point he was even ahead of Jonas Vingegaard.
The massive time gain has altered the Tour's GC quite a bit and introduced a new name in the fight for the podium. Pidcock has climbed to fourth at the end of the day, 4:15 minutes away from the yellow jersey of Tadej Pogacar but only 9 seconds away from the podium spot of Remco Evenepoel. Bahrain - Victorious, Lidl-Trek and Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe all worked in the finale looking to limit their losses.

Points Classification Standings after Stage 13
The first part of the stage saw a heated battle over the green jersey as Jasper Philipsen made it onto the early breakaway of the day and his Alpecin - Premier Tech teammates worked hard to prevent the return of Mads Pedersen and Biniam Girmay who were in a chasing group.
The catch was made but eventually Philipsen did still cross the sprint in first place. He has moved up to second place with 336 points, overtaking Girmay who now has 333 points. Both sit behind Mads Pedersen who has 377 points - a real gap, however one that will still be hard to close taking into consideration the Dane's versatility and the difficulty of the race ahead. Tim Merlier, unable to score today, has 307 points.

King of the Mountains Standings after Stage 13
Tadej Pogacar remains in the lead of the KOM classification with 42 points, ahead of Jonas Vingegaard with 27 and Richard Carapaz with 19. Tom Pidcock ended up being the rider who moved the most meaningfully, having crossed the Grand Ballon in first place. He is now fourth with 18 points and enters the mix - although his GC ambitions should come in the way of a potential tilt at the jersey.

Youth Classification Standings after Stage 13
The youth classification hasn't changed during today's stage, with the lack of contenders in the winning breakaway. Juan Ayuso then remains in the white jersey, 13 seconds ahead of Paul Seixas and 46 ahead of Isaac del Toro in what appears to be the closest battle.

Teams Classification Standings after Stage 13
Lidl-Trek remains in the lead of the team's classification, but has lost a lot of time. Disaster struck the German team who initially missed an entire breakaway of around 40 riders and chased on from behind. Mads Pedersen eventually got in the front group and saved the day green jersey-wise, but not here.
With Brandon McNulty and Tim Wellens finishing in the front group, there was a 14-minute gain over Lidl-Trek. The gap between the two teams is now of only 9:18 minutes, a much more manageable gap on a day where it was predicted that Lidl and its breakaway ambitions would've won time on the competition.
