The attack was 900 m from the top of the climb: https://www.google.com/maps/@44.692...umbfov=90!7i13312!8i6656?coh=205410&entry=ttuYeah, but Pogi attacked at only -1,4km from the peak of Col du Noyer.
Perhaps, at that point, the other riders didn't think they could make much of a difference compared to their 4° to 11° counterparts.
If one of the 4-11° guys thinks he could gain something uphill against his competitors, he'll have tons of opportunities to do so on stage 19 and stage 20.
