Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to the rider who wins Stage 13 of the 2025 Tour de France, an individual time trial from Loudenvielle to Peyragudes on July 18, 2025. The official stage results, published by the Tour de France organizers, will determine the outcome. If the stage is canceled or no official winner is declared, the market will resolve as N/A.

Background

Stage 13 is a 10.9 km individual time trial featuring a challenging ascent to the Peyragudes Altiport. After a 3 km flat section, riders face an 8 km climb averaging 7.8%, with the final kilometer ramping up to a 13% gradient. This stage is notable for its demanding uphill finish, which has previously been a decisive point in the race. (cyclingstage.com)

Key contenders include Tadej Pogačar, Jonas Vingegaard, and Remco Evenepoel. In the Stage 5 time trial of the 2025 Tour, Evenepoel secured victory, finishing 16 seconds ahead of Pogačar and 1:21 ahead of Vingegaard. Pogačar's performance earned him the yellow jersey, while Vingegaard lost significant time. (reuters.com)

Considerations

The steep gradients and high altitude of the Peyragudes climb may favor riders with strong climbing abilities over traditional time trial specialists. Equipment choices, such as opting for a time trial bike versus a road bike, and potential mid-stage bike changes, could also influence performance. Weather conditions, including wind and temperature, may further impact the stage outcome.
