From the hills of Tuscany to the gravel roads of Troyes, it was a hectic, first GC week of the Tour de France. But Wednesday’s stage through the Massif Central is set to do anything but lower the GC and breakaway tension, predict EF Education-EasyPost manager Charly Wegelius and UAE Team Emirates counterpart Joxean Fernández Matxin.
The rollercoaster stage 11 includes 4,200 metres of vertical climbing and four category 3 or higher ascents in the last 50 kilometres, the last just two kilometres from the finish in Le Lioran.
