With no rest day following the previous stages’ windy flats and gruelling ascent of Ventoux, stages 13-15 will be offering up another three days of increasing challenges for the riders. Thankfully, all you need to do is sit back and watch a Tour de France live stream of Stages 13, 14 and 15 – which you can do from anywhere and, in some cases, for free, thanks to our guide.
With Tadej Pogacar still maintaing a commanding lead and the yellow jersey, will we see any competition as we head to the Pyrenees?
Stage 13 opens up the weekend’s riding with a fairly flat transition between the Alps and the Pyrenees, but although the terrain isn’t the most challenging, high winds may well prove a problem. We may also see riders trying to provoke a split in the latter stages of this lengthy 220km stage.
Stage 14 is classified a hilly stage, with second and third-cat climbs making up the majority of the stage – suiting the best all-rounders, and should make for good getaway opportunities. However, Stage 15 will separate the men from the boys, though, as we head into the Pyrenees proper for several gruelling ascents, peaking at over 2,400m. However, the biggest challenge will be the final ascent of the stage, the double-figure Col de Beixalis, and the subsequent technical descent into the capital of Andorra.
It’s a huge few days for the 2021 Tour de France and the timings marry up brilliantly with watching Euro 2020 live streams, too. So prepare for hours of glorious cycling this weekend – our guide to watch Stages 13, 14 and 15 will explain how.
