The Slovenian Tadej Pogacar lives a brilliant moment in the Tour of France 2025. This Thursday he returned to give a blow of authority after imposing himself alone in stage 12, thus adding his third victory in this edition and consolidating himself as the great protagonist of the Gala Round.
Thanks to this triumph, Pogacar reinforced his leadership in the general classification, which now commands with an advantage of 3 minutes and 31 seconds over the Danish Jonas Vingegaard, who remains as his main threat. The Belgian Remco Evenepoel completes the provisional podium (+4: 45).
Although the advantage of the Slovenian is considerable, in the Tour de France everything can happen. That is why the stage of this Friday appears as one of the most decisive of the race. It is a chrono -scaldent of 10.9 kilometers between Loudenvielle and Peyragudes, with 675 meters of accumulated slope.
This challenge, in the heart of the Pyrenees, will be the last individual counterreloj of this edition of the Tour. The squad had already faced the stopwatch in stage 5, when Remco Evenepoel showed its category as a world specialty champion and took the victory with authority in Caen.
Unlike that flat and fast day, this Friday's time trial will be uphill. The ascent towards Peyragudes includes demanding sections with ramps that reach a inclination of 16 %, a challenge that will test not only the power but also the favorite strategy.
Stage 13 will be crucial for Pogacar, who cannot afford to give more time if they want to keep the illusion of the title alive. For the Slovenian, on the other hand, it represents a golden opportunity to approach his second consecutive tour and the fifth of his career.
In Colombia, the transmission of the chronoscalad will begin at 6:30 am by Caracol HD2 and the application of Ditu. From 8:30 am, you can also see live through the open signal of Caracol Televisión. It can also be tuned in ESPN and Disney+.
