Six climbs are included in the route and the Col de la Croix Rosier is classified as a category 2 bonus. In this case, the first few to arrive at the crest will earn extra points. 

Jonas Vingegaard is fighting to stay at the top of the general classification rankings. Vingegaard is dominating the Tour de France standings but has yet to win a stage this year. 

It's hard to tell how much longer he will keep his lead. Keep an eye out for Tadej Pogačar, the 23-year-old is slowly closing the gap between them in the rankings. 

Vingegaard will wear yellow going into stage 12 of the Tour de France. Philipsen will be in green. 

Here is everything you need to know for stage 12 of the Tour de France

Tour de France Stage 12 Route

There are six climbs in stage 12 of the Tour de France. The first, Côte de Thizy-les-Bourgs, appears 20.5 km, or 12.7 miles in. 

There is a short break between Col des Ecorbans and Col de la Croix Montamain, this could be a good moment for the sprinters to move forward. 

The final climb, Col de la Croix Rosier, is a category 2 bonus. In this case, the first three riders are awarded bonus points of 8, 5, and 2 seconds. The bonus does not count toward the general classification, so the points mostly apply to those who want the King of the Mountain title.
