Summary: The town with a long history of Tour stages is back in 2024 for not one but two days, as stage 13 finishes in Pau before the following day rolls out from the same place. With the Pyrenees looming, race organizers managed to design a route for stage 13 that gives the sprinters yet another chance in a Tour that will have already seen several days for the fast finishers.
Fantasy favorites: Jasper Philipsen isn’t making it easy for us to keep calling him the sprint favorite at this Tour, but we’re sticking with him as the top contender for stage 13. Biniam Girmay has earned his place as the second favorite for the sprints, and as far as fantasy players are concerned, he has proven capable of delivering lots of points by finishing close to the top even on the days he doesn’t win. Mark Cavendish, Dylan Groenewegen, Arnaud De Lie, Wout van Aert, Phil Bauhaus, Pascal Ackermann, Alexander Kristoff, and Sam Bennett are all also on the list of potential winners on stage 13.
