STAGE REPORT

Stage 13 saw the second day of action in the Pyrenees with the 152km stage dominated by the Hors Categorie Col d'Aubisque, just 45km from the finish. It was therefore a day for the opportunistic breakaway riders; nobody expected any of the Tour's major protagonists to show their hand on the mighty climb, with such a long run-in to the finish in the Catholic pilgrimage site of Lourdes.

The four remaining British riders in the peloton also had a quiet day. Geraint Thomas, after his solo heroics of the previous day, was understandably quiet, with his Team Sky teammate Ben Swift also choosing to conserve as much energy as possible. However, the Team Sky flag was flown by Edvald Boasson Hagen, who got into a ten man breakaway and managed to stay away over the Aubisque, eventually hanging on for 6th place at the finish.

With the chances of a bunch finish in Lourdes slim to miraculous, Mark Cavendish's focus was on the intermediate sprint prior to the monster climb of the Aubisque. The sprint itself was a strange affair with Gilbert apparently committing way too early. Cavendish eventually took second place in the sprint, dropping points on rival Rojas but gaining on Gilbert. However, the Belgian champion Gilbert made amends towards the end of the stage, breaking clear coming off the Aubisque and burying himself to finish tenth on the stage, elevate himself to ninth on GC and stay in the hunt for green. However, Cavendish, despite finishing in the autobus, had done enough to retain green going into stage 14.

Our final Brit, David Millar, had a low key day, perhaps keeping his powder dry for the gruelling days to come, in sharp contrast to his Garmin Cervelo teammate Thor Hushovd, who bagged a memorable and improbable 9th Tour de France stage victory. The big Norwegian got into the break prior to the Aubisque and managed to stay away up and over the climb with Cofidis' David Moncoutie, with Jeremy Roy out on his own up ahead. On the fast run in to the finish, Hushovd, with the Moncoutie literally in tow, hunted down the valiant Roy, who'd battled with Geraint Thomas over the Tourmalet in the previous stage. The world road champion made the catch with 2.5km to go and rode straight past the heartbroken Roy to take what is perhaps the most memorable stage victory of his illustrious career to date.

Stage 13 on Twitter

The talk on twitter from the British contingent was mainly concentrated on Hushovd's stellar performance.

Unsurprisingly Geraint Thomas was having a relative breather after his heroics on the Tourmalet, but paid his dues to the hugely popular Hushovd:

First day in this race when I had the chance to 'take it easy'. Well as easy as you can, on a day like today!! Thor's the man!!

Mark Cavendish too was in awe of the Norwegian World Road Champion, who defied gravity and showed that sprinters can climb too:

I think Thor Hushovd showed today why he wears the rainbow bands of World Champion. Incredible ride.. Nice work by my teammate Lars Bak too!

David Millar put himself in the shoes of Hushovd's quarry Jeremy Roy and tweeted this with what has become his customary poeticism:

What's a pro cyclists worst nightmare? Racing solo for TdF stage win and knowing Thor Hushovd is chasing you. Fear of God of Thunder.

Ben Swift was his usual matter of fact self, reflecting on the energy expended on today's stage and the suffering to come:

Well that was a fast and hard start. Going to be some tired body's tonight and tomorrow myself will be one of them
