Chris Froome climbs to victory on Mont Ventoux for Team Sky Pro Cycling and increases his overall Tour de France lead.

Complete results from stage 14 of the Tour de France 2013.

Stage 13 was supposed to be an uneventful transition stage that the sprinters would decide. The cycling gods, however, decreed otherwise. Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) took a sprint from Peter Sagan (Cannondale) and Bauke Mollema (Belkin) to win the flat, 173-km run from Tours to Saint-Amand-Montrond in 3:40:08, but Cavendish’s victory paled in importance next to the elimination of Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) as a GC threat and the rise of Mollema and Alberto Contador (Saxo Bank-Tinkoff). Chris Froome (Sky) remains the maillot jaune, but his lead has been reduced and he and his team have been shown to be vulnerable.

Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) finished second, and Peter Sagan (Cannondale) finished third. Chris Froome (Sky) remains the yellow jersey.
