Behind the four escapees, Fabio Aru held on to the yellow jersey despite the early loss of his team-mate. The 13th stage leader board looks like this: France’s Baruil on top with Colombia’s Quintana less than a second behind. In third and fourth respectively are the Spanish duo Contador and Landa.
Overall, Italian Fabio Aru leads Britain’s Chris Froome by 6 seconds followed by French rider Romain Bardet and Colombian Rigoberto Uran.
