FOIX, France (Reuters) - Fabio Aru kept his composure and the overall lead in an eventful 13th stage of the Tour de France on Friday, but the Italian can only count on himself if he is to keep the yellow jersey all the way to Paris.

While defending champion Chris Froome, second overall and six seconds behind, can rely on a strong Team Sky and third-placed Romain Bardet, 25 seconds off the pace, also has AG2R-La Mondiale team mates to count on, Aru seems exposed.
