A 15-man group led by Alberto Contador's Team Saxo Bank, with the help of eventual stage winner Mark Cavendish's Omega Pharma–Quick-Step and Bauke Mollema's Belkin Pro Cycling used the crosswinds to make a gap with other General Classification riders 31 kilometres from the finish to form the echelons. Then again This helped Contador gain 1'09" on – among others – Chris Froome, Nairo Quintana and Joaquim Rodríguez. The biggest victim however was the number 2 in the General Classification at that point: Alejandro Valverde. He lost 9'54" after having a puncture at a critical point in the race. The stage saw escapees Bauke Mollema move to second, Alberto Contador to third, Roman Kreuziger to fourth, Laurens ten Dam to fifth and Jakob Fuglsang to sixth in the General Classification. Chris Froome retained the yellow jersey, while Alejandro Valverde dropped to 16th.

By the 35 km 1 on mark, they had extended their advantage over the peloton to 5' 40". Van Garderen would attack his leading companions at the foot of the first ascent of Alpe d'Huez, with only Moser and Riblon able to keep pace and caught up with him 1 km 1 on away from the top of the climb. Despite multiple mishaps – van Garderen's chain fell on the descent of the Sarenne and Riblon went off the road – the three leaders were firmly in the lead at the base of the second climb of Alpe d'Huez.http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-france-2013/stage-18/results Riblon wins Tour de France queen stage to l'Alpe d'Huez Peter Cossins Cyclingnews.com 18 July 2013 8 February 2014 Once again, van Garderen attacked at the base of the climb and quickly distanced himself from his leading companions. Riblon, despite being down 40 seconds to van Garderen at one point, would claw his way back up and passed him with 2.4 km 1 on to go, and ultimately won the only stage by a French rider in the 2013 Tour. Back in the peloton, major changes were occurring in the general classification. RAB 2013b yes riders Bauke Mollema and Laurens ten Dam both cracked at the beginning of the climb and slid a couple of places on the leaderboard. Nairo Quintana (MOV 2013 yes) attacked the group and was followed closely by SKY 2013's Chris Froome and Richie Porte as well as KAT 2013's Joaquim Rodríguez. The SAX 2013 trio of Alberto Contador, Roman Kreuziger, and Michael Rogers were unable to follow and would lose significant amounts of time. With 5 km 1 on to go, Froome and Porte would lose contact with Quintana and Rodríguez; at which point Porte dropped back to the team car to illegally get energy gels for his leader, then paced him to the end of the climb to limit his losses to Quintana and Rodríguez. Porte and Froome each received a 20-second time penalty and a fine of 200 Swiss francs for the infringement.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/23363147 Chris Froome increases lead despite penalty BBC Sport 18 July 2013 18 July 2013http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/froome-penalised-20-seconds-for-illegal-feeding Froome penalised 20 seconds for illegal feeding Stephen Farrand Cyclingnews.com 18 July 2013 22 July 2013 Stage 18 result Rank Rider Team Time 1 Christophe Riblon FRA ALM 2013 4h 51' 32" 2 Tejay van Garderen USA BMC 2013 + 59" 3 Moreno Moser ITA CAN 2013 + 1' 27" 4 Nairo Quintana COL 20px|White jersey MOV 2013 + 2' 12" 5 Joaquim Rodríguez ESP KAT 2013 + 2' 15" 6 Richie Porte AUS SKY 2013 + 3' 18" 7 Chris Froome GBR 20px|link=General classification in the Tour de France|alt=A yellow jersey.
