Stage 12[]

14 July 2016 — Montpellier to Chalet Reynard (Mont Ventoux), 178 km (111 mi)[4]

The queen stage of the 2016 Tour, on the French National Day of Bastille Day, this mountain stage departed west out of Montpellier before quickly turning north-east to head through Castries and Sommières. The route then zig-zagged east through Vergèze to Bouillargues. Continuing east, the riders travelled through Beaucaire, Tarascon and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence to an intermediate sprint at Mollégès. The race then headed north-east through Cavaillon and ascended through Gordes to the Category 4 Côte de Gordes at 449 metres (1,473 ft). Turning north, with a brief descent, the race continued climbing into the Category 3 Col des Trois Termes to 577 metres (1,893 ft). The route then descended to Mazan and turned east to Bédoin. The riders continued east to begin the ascent of the Hors catégorie Mont Ventoux, at an average gradient of 8.8%, using the southern route to the summit. The finish line was to have been reached at an altitude of 1,912 metres (6,273 ft) after a 15.7 kilometres (9.8 mi) ascent.[4][5][6][7] After a weather forecast of high winds at the summit of Ventoux, the stage was shortened by 6 km (3.7 mi) the day before. The stage finished at Chalet Reynard at 1,435 metres (4,708 ft), with approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) of ascent up the mountain.[8][9]

After the route was shortened, spectators congregated near the new finishing line. Near the end of the race, an attacking group consisting of Chris Froome, Richie Porte, and Bauke Mollema encountered thick crowds along the climb. The crowds forced a motorbike in front of the riders to suddenly stop, causing all three riders to crash. Mollema was able to get back on his bike and quickly ride off, but Porte and Froome were both delayed, especially Froome, whose bike was damaged in the crash. Leaving his bike behind, Froome then decided to run up Mont Ventoux, before being given a neutral service bike. Shortly thereafter he was able to get a team bike from his team car. Froome finished the stage 1 minute and 40 seconds behind Mollema, provisionally ceding the yellow jersey to Adam Yates and being placed in sixth. After the incident was reviewed, a jury granted both Froome and Porte the same time as Mollema, who had finished ahead of the main field despite the crash. This gave Froome the yellow jersey again, and also gave him time on both Yates and Nairo Quintana.[10][11]
