2014 Tour de France, Stage 11: Besançon - Oyonnax (187.5 km)

[Avoriaz]

Who will collide with Gerrans at the end today?

 

[Eclipse]

No break allowed to ride away easily today it seems.

Sagan attacking lol

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Sagan on the offensive

 

[ILovecycling]

Kristoff thinks it is too hard.

Thank you very much.

Sagan on the offensive

yeah,but wasnt allowed

No chance for him to get to any early breakway.

Only breakway without Sagan has chace to leave the peloton.


Must be quite frustrating for him

Sagan on the offensive

yup, he really wants the win, but apparently nobody wants to go with him, and once the break will be formed, they peloton will most probably not see them again, only if cannondale put some stuff together like in stage 7 from 2013 edition

 

[SKSemtex]

This breakway formation can be more interesting then the entire stage.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Looks like we might end up with a soft PCT break.
Big opportunity for race action later if a few teams takes control in the peloton.

Former KOM leader in break:

I think we're in for quite a good finale. There are some steep sections on the climbs and some great descends. But of course if Tony just time trials away it's gonna be boring.

 

[tomorrow]

ok, and we probably have BOTD, we'll see if there are any attempts to bridge. So far, Orica and Cannondale might actually catch the break in the end.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Elmiger, Delaplace and Lemoine break of the day? Really?

 

[l.Harm]

C'mon this break

 

[ILovecycling]

Elmiger, Delaplace and Lemoine break of the day? Really?

someone will bridge,thats for sure ,at least IMHO

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

tomorrows stage is way harder to control in the beginning. he will go for todayt which suits him best. tomorrow even krstiff could hang on

and that just so happens. only 3 guys in the break and cannopndale should control this

 

[classicomano]

Oh my lord, wat a FAIL breakaway.

 

[ILovecycling]

2 minutes now.

 

[ILovecycling]

Oh my lord, wat a FAIL breakaway.

opposite,ideal for Orica and Cannodale

 

[BeagRigh]

Elmiger, Delaplace and Lemoine break of the day? Really?

Astana declares the first 130km an unofficial rest day then!

 

[Eyeballs Out]

opposite,ideal for Orica and Cannodale

Cannondale would rather have Sagan in the break I think so that everyone could have the day off. Gerrans, on the other hand, would rather not go in the break because he might have to put his nose in the wind

 

[Pulpstar]

Surely too few to win the stage, OGE and Cannondale must be chuffed to bits with this result !

Not to mention the Tinkoff-Saxo boys. Just tuned in to the live ticker at the official site. Really surprised they let the 3 go for todays break.

 

[petiagos]

Saxo guys to atack in the last mountain ...
Rogers ftw ....

 

[leon993]

6:10 now zzzz stage zzzz

 

[tomorrow]

they will get nice gap, then cannondale will start working and give pretty fast pace on the first two climbs, they will catch them but then all green except sagan will dissapear, he will stay with best 12 climber from which, one will defeat him in the end.

 

[Akuryo]

Whats up with Bakelants? I read he tried once before but they did not let him go? There are only a few stages left that suit him. Or are OPQS going with Kwiatkowski/Trentin again?
