Tejay Van Garderen was able to rebound up the standings at the Tour de France on Saturday as a 12th place finish, just 13 seconds behind the stage winner, allowed him to move up four spots into eighth in the overall standings. Christopher Froome of Great Britain took the stage and the lead though Van Garderen only trails him by 23 seconds, far less than the 5:57 he trailed the previous leader by. Peter Stetina had his first top 50 finish of the event as he was 44th, but 13:25 back. Stetina moved up 15 spots to 43rd and now trails the leader by 27:26. Lawson Craddock fell outside the top 50 overall and is now 68th while Alex Howes slipped to 95th.

Sunday is a 115-mile mountain stage as the Tour de France closes nine straight days of racing to start. Monday will be a day off before seven more days of racing. After a second day of rest the races ends with five final days of racing. There are two time trials, one in stage 13 for 23 miles and one in the mountains in stage 18 for 11 miles.
