Tadej Pogacar speaking before the start of stage 11: "I think there will be some attacks. We still have a strong team and we will try to force a good pace, so that we can control the race but yeah, you never know. I think today will be the first real fireworks.
Even though we lost George [Bennett] and Vegard [Stake Laengen] the mood is still really good. I like the spirit and we will fight until the end."

Normally I'd stick a full stage profile in here for you all but today I think this view of the Col du Telegraphe and Col du Galibier is all you need to focus on over the next part of the stage.
An absolute killer on the legs!
