Mauro Schmid has won stage 13 of the Tour de France, taking the day’s victory as the race moved through its second week.
The official Tour de France stage record listed Schmid as the winner on 17 July, giving him the headline result from the day’s racing. His success came during a phase of the Tour in which the stage honours and the wider general classification contest continued to unfold at the same time.
The stage result separated the immediate winner from the riders still focused on the overall race. Schmid’s victory stood as the day’s decisive outcome, while the general classification contenders continued their contest behind the stage winner.
The Tour’s second week often brings a shift in emphasis from early positioning to more clearly defined ambitions, and the stage 13 record placed Schmid at the centre of the day’s sporting story. The result added another individual name to the list of stage winners in the 2026 race.
For the wider field, the race continued beyond the stage result, with the general classification still being contested after Schmid had secured the win. The official classification confirmed the stage victory without altering the central fact of the day: Schmid crossed into the record as the winner of stage 13.
The result ensured that 17 July belonged to Schmid in the Tour’s daily record, while the contenders for the overall title remained locked in their own battle as the race carried on through its middle phase.
