Stage 11 Preview.



Sisteron - Bourg-lès-Valence, 180 km

 

The Tour exits the Alps in stage 11, cruising through the foothills of the Drôme region. With only one Cat. 3 climb 56km into the stage, followed by a gradual downhill and flat finale in Bourg-Lès-Valence, a big sprint finish is highly likely. This is the last good chance for the sprinters’ teams to organize a bunch finish for more than a week, so it is hard to imagine any other scenario.

Prediction: Early Breakaway, caught with 20km to go, then Cavendish ahead of the bunch.
