00:00Stage 11 of the Tour de France from Évou-le-Bain to Le Lioran. It's a big day for the riders,
00:074,350 meters of climbing and 211 kilometers across six categorized climbs. This race is
00:17going to be interesting because we anticipate a big fight for the breakaway at the start,
00:22maybe even taking an hour for the breakaway to get up the road. But there is no doubt that the
00:27contenders have to move today for a number of different reasons. There's so much climbing,
00:33but also in the back half of this race, there are bonus seconds on offer. So at the top of
00:39the Col de Pertusse, expect to see the contenders trying to get involved in the action. What will
00:45happen? The breakaway believes it can go all the way to the finish, but the contenders may well
00:50have their day.
