Overview:
Team Garmin-Chipotle riders are recording the stages of the 2008 Tour de France with their Garmin Edge 705s for all you data hungry fans out there. Each day we will feature one rider and his data.

Stage 13 is yet another transition stage as the Tour heads west towards Italy and then the Alps. The rolling 182 km stage includes three category 4 climbs: Cote de la Resclauze (236m), Cote de Puechabon (293m) and the Pic Saint-Loup (240m).

This fast stage saw Ryder Hesjedal working early on to keep team leader Christian Vande Velde out of trouble and up front for the finish.
