La 12ª tappa del Tour de France 2012, la più lunga (226 km da Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne a Annonay Davézieux), ha visto il successo del britannico David Millar (Garmin-Sharp). Millar torna alla vittoria dopo il trionfo nella cronometro finale del Giro d’Italia 2011, battendo Jean-Christophe Peraud (AG2R La Mondiale) ed Egoi Martinez (Euskaltel-Euskadi).
I tre facevano parte di una fuga che era riuscita a guadagnare fino a 12 minuti sul gruppo, in quanto nessun uomo di classifica era presente (vi erano anche Robert Kiserlovski dell’Astana e Cyril Gautier dell’Europcar).
Il gruppo di Bradley Wiggins (Team Sky) si è limitato a controllare questa frazione che non ha rappresentato particolare interesse in chiave di classifica. La volata di gruppo è stata vinta da Matthew Goss (Orica GreenEdge), ma l’australiano è stato poi retrocesso per scorrettezza nei confronti di Peter Sagan (Liquigas-Cannondale), sempre più leader della classifica a punti. Goss è stato anche penalizzato di 30 punti.

Domani la tredicesima tappa (Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux - Le Cap d’Agde, 217 km) non presenta difficoltà, quindi si presume un arrivo in volata o nuovamente possibilità per una fuga. Questa l’altimetria:
