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.https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/jul/14/chris-froome-tour-de-france-mont-ventoux Chris Froome keeps Tour de France yellow jersey after stage 12 ends in farce The Guardian 14 July 2016 14 July 2016https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/36797558 Tour de France: Chris Froome forced to run up Mont Ventoux after crash BBC Sport 14 July 2016 14 July 2016 Stage 12 result Rank Rider Team Time 1 Thomas De Gendt BEL LTS 2016 4h 31' 51" 2 Serge Pauwels BEL DDD 2016 + 2" 3 Daniel Navarro ESP COF 2016 + 14" 4 Stef Clement NED IAM 2016 + 40" 5 Sylvain Chavanel FRA DEN 2016 + 40" 6 Bert-Jan Lindeman NED TLJ 2016 + 2' 52" 7 Daniel Teklehaimanot ERI DDD 2016 + 3' 13" 8 Sep Vanmarcke BEL TLJ 2016 + 3' 26" 9 Chris Anker Sørensen DEN FVC 2016 + 4' 23" 10 Bauke Mollema NED TFR 2016 + 5' 05"General classification after stage 12 Rank Rider Team Time 1 Chris Froome GBR 20px|Yellow jersey SKY 2016 57h 11' 33" 2 Adam Yates GBR 20px|White jersey OGE 2016b + 47" 3 Nairo Quintana COL MOV 2016 + 54" 4 Bauke Mollema NED TFS 2016 + 56" 5 Romain Bardet FRA ALM 2016 + 1' 15" 6 Alejandro Valverde ESP MOV 2016 + 1' 32" 7 Tejay van Garderen USA 20px BMC 2016 + 1' 32" 8 Fabio Aru ITA AST 2016 + 1' 54" 9 Dan Martin IRL EQS 2016 + 1' 56" 10 Joaquim Rodríguez ESP KAT 2016 + 2' 11" Stage 13 15 July 2016 — Bourg-Saint-Andéol to La Caverne du Pont-d'Arc, 37.5 km 0 on individual time trial (ITT)Stage 13: Bourg-Saint-Andéol to La Caverne du Pont-d'Arc http://www.letour.com/le-tour/2016/us/stage-13.html Tour de France Amaury Sport Organisation 21 June 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160704143349/http://www.letour.com/le-tour/2016/us/stage-13.html 2016-07-04 dead This short stage was an individual time trial on an undulating road, departing north-west and uphill from Bourg-Saint-Andéol.
