Stage 11 as it happened: the attack, the gap, the collapse behind
How UAE strangled the race before the climb even began
Four riders on the front for 60 km wasn't showboating: it was arithmetic. The numbers behind the leadout that broke the peloton, and why nobody could answer it.
"I still get nervous before the Alps. That's the fun part."
