It has fallen.
2022-07-13T11:34:20.590Z The attack from van Aert and van der Poel meant that the riders ran at 48.7 km/h for the first hour. Ouch. 2022-07-13T11:32:16.664Z The peloton starts the Lacets de Montvernier at 4:00, the GC riders trying to be in front for the narrow road. The peloton aligns quickly. 2022-07-13T11:29:11.574Z The road is narrow and twisty but not too steep.

2022-07-13T11:23:09.518Z Marc Hirschi and Mikkel Bjerg lead the front of the peloton. Pogacar only has five teammates in the match so she has to use them very carefully. 2022-07-13T11:19:47.460Z Behind, the peloton has relaxed, with riders taking blinders and ice packs and taking natural breaks. Team UAE Emirates has taken a position to lead the peloton. 2022-07-13T11:18:17.724Z Quote of the day had his exit with Warren Barguil in the middle of it! 💨#TDF2022 pic.twitter.com/8BoZTwv09S July 13, 2022 See more 2022-07-13T11:16:53.476Z Warren Barguil (Arkéa Samsic) is the best rider in the GC. He is 26th at 13:33. He could, in theory, become the race leader if he could produce a huge rider and the peloton let them go. 2022-07-13T11:15:07.005Z

115 km to go

The break has a 1:00 lead. 2022-07-13T11:13:42.919Z The GC teams seem to have been informed that there are no dangerous riders in the attack and are making the chase easier. The attack now has 50 seconds. The tire is broken. 2022-07-13T11:11:47.413Z There are now 20 riders on the attack and the gap is opening up again. It’s up to 30 seconds now. 2022-07-13T11:10:21.573Z The Jumbos try to go on the attack with Benoot and another rider. They already have Laporte and van Aert on the way. 2022-07-13T11:09:08.460Z We have a group of 20 hunters and others right behind them. At present the UAE has little control over the attacks.

120 km to go

Cattaneo enters the attack to make it three in front. Will the peloton let them? Their difference is reduced to 15 seconds. 2022-07-13T11:02:32.473Z QuickStep’s Mattia Cattaneo tries to close the gap on van Aert and van Poel. The peloton is at 35 seconds. The pace is high due to the strong wind in the valley. 2022-07-13T10:59:18.865Z The race might come back together after the sprint. We can probably expect a new breakout to form very soon.

130 km to go

The valley roads continue for another 30km and the climb begins with the spectacular Lacets de Montvernier hairpin. 2022-07-13T10:53:02.325Z As the riders would say, it’s a “super fast” start to the scene. 2022-07-13T10:52:35.972Z The six chasers are at 30 seconds, with the peloton at 40 seconds. 2022-07-13T10:52:14.259Z No sprint up front with van Aert leading van der Poel over the line. 2022-07-13T10:51:43.547Z There is a team of six hunters working together to catch van Aert and van der Poel. 2022-07-13T10:48:39.308Z Several teams are trying to inspire a chase, but the gap is widening. It will be exciting to see if van Aert and van der Poel continue to fight after the intermediate sprint.

The peloton has relaxed, leaving van Aert and van der Poel to open a gap. It is up to 30 seconds. 2022-07-13T10:42:26.542Z The gap is up to 25 seconds. The two leave as the sprint approaches. 2022-07-13T10:40:14.817Z WVA+MvdP lead the peloton by 15 seconds. Behind Vlasov is chasing a mechanical problem. This is not the time to be left behind. 2022-07-13T10:37:41.083Z Van Aert and van der Poel but other riders are chasing hard. 2022-07-13T10:35:40.195Z And the first rider to attack? Van Aert and his cyclocross rival Mathieu van der Poel. Compete!
2022-07-13T10:34:59.124Z He continued! Race director Christian Prudhomme waves the flag and the scene begins. 2022-07-13T10:34:21.757Z The 45 km spans are on flat valley roads. Interestingly, the intermediate sprint comes early, in Aiguebelle, after just 16.5km. Wout van Aert is at the front of the peloton ready to chase the points. 2022-07-13T10:30:18.807Z To prepare for the stage, read Alasdair Fotheringham’s detailed preview, which includes details of all the day’s climbs and comments from Eduardo Chozas, the Spanish winner of the stage that day in 1986, the only time the Tour has completed at the top. Tour de France 2022 Stage 11 preview – Tackling rare Col du Granon summit finish

(Image credit: Getty Images Sport) 2022-07-13T10:24:21.082Z It’s certainly the hardest mountain stage of the 2022 Tour so far, after all, and just as arguably – along with the climb to Alpe d’Huez the following day and the Hautacam in week three – one of the three hardest of the entire race. If Pogacar comes through in yellow and without him or his team showing weakness, the chances of him keeping it until Paris in 10 days will be significantly higher. 2022-07-13T10:24:01.686Z Regardless of what happens on the Col du Granon in the Tour de France, race leader Tadej Pogačar (UAE) or his closest pursuers Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers), the Col du Granon has already his permanent place in the history of the race. The Col du Granon was where in 1986 five-time Tour de France winner Bernard Hinault wore the yellow jersey on the last day of his career. As such, the Col du Granon marked the end of a huge chapter in the sport. 2022-07-13T10:22:12.036Z 🚩 We’re leaving!
