The undulating 27km course in Pau of the stage 13 time trial will not be a pure power course, meaning the climbers should have more of a chance to limit the time losses to the better time trial riders. The course does however represent a good chance for defending champion Geraint Thomas (Ineos) to stamp his authority on the race and close the gap to yellow jersey Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-Quick-Step).
