Filippo Ganna battled hard in the breakaway on stage 13 of the Tour de France, coming home sixth on a rapid day of racing.
 
The Italian showed great legs and horsepower to force his way into the move on the day’s opening climb. Despite a spirited chase from the peloton behind, Ganna was up the road and able to solidify himself within the group.
 
After a nip and tuck battle with the peloton, the tug of war eventually went the way of the six-man breakaway. With 12.5 kilometres to go, Mads Pedersen (Trek Segafredo) launched a stinging attack to split the group. Ganna was unable to follow the initial acceleration, and despite pegging the gap to the lead trio, he eventually came home in sixth. Pedersen won the three-up sprint in Saint-Etienne.
 
Back in the peloton GC trio Geraint Thomas, Adam Yates and Tom Pidcock all finished safely to maintain their top-10 positions. The Grenadiers remain third, fifth and eighth respectively.
