The Tour was in uproar. The riders staged a strike over the increased attention given to the drugs scandal. The riders initially refused to ride but then started under neutral conditions. Dutch radio said that the peloton initially rode very slowly indeed for 14 km behind Leblanc's lead car. The neutral conditions were being maintained. After 16 km of neutral riding and a delay of 2 hours, the Tour officially resumed at around 13.35 European time. Tom Steels took his second sprint victory in the 1998 Tour when he won the mass sprint into Le Cap d'Agde, narrowly beating François Simon and Stéphane Barthe.Stage 12 Brief http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/results/1998/tour98/stage12.html cyclingnews.com 18 May 2014 Stage 12 result Rank Cyclist Team Time 1 Tom Steels BEL Mapei 4h 12' 51" 2 François Simon FRA GAN s.t. 3 Stéphane Barthe FRA Casino s.t. 4 Nicola Minali ITA Riso Scotti s.t. 5 Erik Zabel GER 20px|Green jersey Team Telekom s.t. 6 Stuart O'Grady AUS GAN s.t. 7 Andrea Ferrigato ITA Vitalicio Seguros s.t. 8 Aart Vierhouten NED Rabobank s.t. 9 Leonardo Guidi ITA Polti s.t. 10 George Hincapie USA US Postal s.t.General classification after stage 12http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1978_2005/tdf1998_12.php 85ème Tour de France 1998 - 12ème étape Memoire du cyclisme https://web.archive.org/web/20120122093818/http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1978_2005/tdf1998_12.php 22 January 2012 Rank Cyclist Team Time 1 Jan Ullrich GER 20px|Ullrich was awarded the yellow jersey as general classification leader after this stage Team Telekom 56h 55' 16" 2 Bobby Julich USA Cofidis + 1' 11" 3 Laurent Jalabert FRA ONCE + 3' 01" 4 Marco Pantani ITA Mercatone Uno s.t. 5 Michael Boogerd NED Rabobank + 3' 29" 6 Luc Leblanc FRA Polti + 4' 16" 7 Bo Hamburger DEN Casino + 4' 44" 8 Fernando Escartín ESP Kelme + 5' 16" 9 Roland Meier SUI Cofidis + 5' 18" 10 Ángel Casero ESP Vitalicio Seguros + 5' 53" Stage 13 25 July 1998 — Frontignan la Peyrade to Carpentras, 196 km 1 on Stage 13 result Rank Cyclist Team Time 1 Daniele Nardello ITA MAP 1998 4h 32' 46" 2 José Vicente García ESP BAN 1998 s.t. 3 Andrea Tafi ITA MAP 1998 s.t. 4 Stéphane Heulot FRA FDJ 1998 s.t. 5 Marty Jemison USA USP 1998 s.t. 6 Koos Moerenhout NED RAB 1998 s.t. 7 Sergei Ivanov RUS TVM 1998 + 2' 27" 8 Fabio Roscioli ITA ASI 1998 + 2' 43" 9 François Simon FRA GAN 1998a + 2' 43" 10 Maarten den Bakker NED RAB 1998 + 2' 43"General classification after stage 13http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1978_2005/tdf1998_13.php 85ème Tour de France 1998 - 13ème étape Memoire du cyclisme https://web.archive.org/web/20120120010924/http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1978_2005/tdf1998_13.php 20 January 2012 Rank Cyclist Team Time 1 Jan Ullrich GER 20px|link=General classification in the Tour de France|alt=A yellow jersey.
