Course Preview
At 179.8 kilometres, the 11th stage of the Tour de France travels from Clermont-Ferrand to Moulins. Rolling hills in the first half, predominantly flat terrain in the second.
Clermont-Ferrand, home to Rémi Cavagna, hosted its last Tour de France stage start two years ago. The race went to Lyon, where Søren Kragh Andersen soloed to triumph.
Things look promising for the sprinters this time. The route is predominantly flat. Two minor climbs are situated in the first half of the race, one in the second. The Côte de Chaptuzat (1.9 kilometres at 5%) and Côte de Mercurol (2.9 kilometres at 4.9%) are done and dusted in the first 60 kilometres before the Côte de la Croix Blanche throws in 1.6 kilometres at 5.4% with 60 kilometres to go. So the sprinters teams should be able to wrap this up fairly easy.
The finish in Moulins seems to be layed out for just that – a sprint finish. The final 1.3 kilometres are as straight as an arrow.
