By zooming on the cranckset and the cassette, you can see the mechanical issue that Romain Bardet had in the last listed climb of stage 13 of Tour de France 2024. His rear derailleur had a defect and Romain was unable to shift up a gear. He put the chain on the little chainring to pass the climb and it results that the chain is bent, something that you don't do in normal time.
