The current GC standings at the Tour de France 2024

Once again, the Tour de France began on stage 13 with all expectations that the general classification battle would be muted, yet we finished the stage with a transformed top 10.

The most significant change in the battle for the yellow jersey happened before the stage had begun, with Primož Roglič (Red Bull-Bora Hansgrohe) abandoning the race on account of injuries sustained in his stage 12 crash. 

Having entered the race as a major yellow jersey contender, Roglič was in sixth place in the overall standings. 

Meanwhile, top-10 placed rider and key domestique to Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) Juan Ayuso also departed the race following a positive COVID-19 test. He was previously ninth place in the overall standings.

Those two departures have caused a shift in the general classification – however, at the very top the race for the yellow jersey remains the same, even while echelons split up the peloton across the stage.

Pogačar continues to hold the yellow jersey at the top of the race with a margin of 1:06 to second-place Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quickstep).

Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) is in third with 1:14 separating him from the Slovenian race leader.

João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates) is in fourth place with a gap of 4:20 to his teammate in the yellow jersey.

In fifth place is Carlos Rodríguez (Ineos-Grenadiers) who sits 4:40 down in the overall standings.

Having vacated the sixth spot in the standings, Roglič has allowed Mikel Landa (Soudal Quickstep) and Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) to both jump up one spot, to sixth and seventh position, at a gap of 5:38 and 6:59 respectively.

Jumping up two spots, from tenth to eighth is Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek), at a margin of 7:36.

New entrants to the top 10 are Derek Gee (Israel-Premier Tech) in ninth, 7:54 down on the top spot, and Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike) rounding off the top 10 with margin of 8:56.

The next major test in the GC will come on Saturday with stage 14 from Pau to Saint-Lary-Soulan – where we expect to see a battle for the yellow jersey and the podium as the Tour de France approaches its final week.
