Music courtesy of BMG Production Music Stage 12 of the 2026 Tour de
France was always going to be about one thing: the sprint. The
179.1km stage from Circuit Nevers Magny-Cours to Chalon-sur-Saône
offered the fast men another opportunity before the race heads back
into the mountains, and once again, it was Tim Merlier who came out
on top. Merlier claimed his third stage victory of this year's
Tour, holding off Olav Kooij and Jasper Philipsen after a dramatic
finale that was marred by a late crash. While the general
classification remained unchanged, the sprint hierarchy became even
clearer: Merlier is proving to be the fastest finisher in France,
but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s closing in on the green
jersey, which still very much remains up for grabs. Ned Boulting
and David Millar break down Stage 12 of the Tour de France
