CHAMROUSSE France (Reuters) - There seems to be no stopping Vincenzo Nibali on the Tour de France as the Italian snatched a solo win in the 13th stage in a mountaintop finish, while Australian Richie Porte's title hopes disintegrated after his engine blew up in the heat on Friday.

Astana rider Nibali went on his own in the long climb to Chamrousse to open a 3:37 gap over Spain's Alejandro Valverde in the overall standings.
