Hello and welcome to live ꦅcoverage frᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚom stage 11 of the Tour de France.

We're in Besançon for the start of today's 187.5km stage to Oyonnax. The sun is out, the rest day is be♉hind us and riders are starting to gather on the line. The offical start is roughly ten min𓄧utes away.

Rolling road for the majority of today's stage but there are four climbs in the last 50km. It leaves the stage wide open, especially with rest-day legs brought into the mix. The sprinters will be thinking about keep the stage together, while the likes of Sagan and Degenkolb will fancy their chances if they can drop the pure sprinters on the climb. Astana would like a break to go up the road though and there will be attacks from the gun. For our full stage preview, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:click here.

Roy Curvers says...

No Gilbert but Orica GreenEdge will be looking to a🐭lso set Gerrans up, IAM Cycling have Chav♚anel and Haussler, while Garmin have promised to go on the attack now that Talansky has lost his GC hopes. Tinkoff are in the same boat, with Contador out of the race. Intermediate stages can sometimes be the most exciting in the race and this could be a cracker.

Here's a reminder of where things stand on GC:

While we've also shot with Frank Schleck in which he talks about his new Trek bike 🐈for the Tour de France.

And the riders are off with attacks from the gun. A small group has slipped clear in t🦄he opening 𒐪few minutes.

The peloton have caught that group, and several other a🃏ttacks and we just have Adam Hansen leading the race. He'll want ꦉsome company though.

The Australian has been brought back and it's sparked an attack from Peter Sagan. There's a sprint at 98km of course but at the moment the Cannondale rider is alone. Would any r♛ider want to bridge up to him?

Caught. It makes no difference has Sagan has been brought back by the charging b🐈unch. It could be a long time before the break moves clear. And there's another at🅘tack.

Chavane✱l tried a little move just before Sagan but the Frenchman was quickly caught too.

167km remaining from 187km

In other news Mollema is off to Trek at the end of the year. They need a GC contender for the future and the Schleck brothers are out of contract at the end of the season. Mollema makes sense on that level but transfers cannot be announced until Aug 1, as per the UCI rules. Of course there's no comment from the team and Belkin may still get a new lead sponsor but Mollema and Kelderman are wanted men. 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Here's the Mollema story.

In the real world this would just be weird, going around and smelling, I mean taking photos of men's shoes but at the Tour de France it's A-Okay. Here's a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:gallery of photos of shoes riders are wearing at this year's ☂race. The Devil wears pearl izumi, or so it se♓ems.

It's been a really fast start to today's stage and the bunch are strung out having covered 28km in quick time. Still no break ꦍthough.

Three riders has gone clear now, and they've pushed out a lead of 2:30 on the peloton. Astana seem happy but there will b🌸e a lot of frustrate🃏d riders in the main field. It's not too late for a counter attack but it needs to come fairly soon.

Just three riders in the break but some decent firepower with Martin Elmiger (IAM Cyclin🍎g), Cyril Lemoine (Cofidis), and Anthony Delaplace (Bretagne-Séché Envirꦫonnement).

137km remaining from 187km

Astana have taken a back seat for now, with Nibali and his team in the middle of the peloton. It's Cannondale and Orica whoꦜ at controlling the pace in the peloton.

Sagan has been tipped for the stage today. He's had an inc🗹redible record in the race so far but hasn't won a stage yet. He has a huge lead in the points jersey though, it's almost in the bag.

The lead to the three riders is at 5:26 so it's coming down. It looks like Orica and Cannondale want to bring everything back before the set of the set of climbs n𒆙ear the finish.

Away from the Tour we caught up with Cadel Evans' agent last night. He told us that the Australian would probably retire at BMC. Read the full story here.

122km remaining from 187km

At the moment Cannondale have two men on the front of the peloton, and there's one from  Orica as another 20 seconds is chipped off the break's lead. Astana have moved towards the front with Nibali ne🔯atly tucked in behind his teammates.

The bunch has 🍸pegged the break at 4:30 and it's held there for the last few kms. We still have 108 to go as Cannondale set the pace. A lot of pressure on Sagan's shoulders, some of that self-imposed, it's perhaps fair to💫 say that he's been snatching at wins in the race so far.

Vansummeren is at🐎 the back of the peloton right now and it's still strung out. The Belgian has Talansky on his wheel, the American clearly struggling.

Talansky would have been praying for an e🅺asy day today, a gentle warm befo🎶re the next few days but it's been anything but easy so far in the stage.

💟The break have lost another 30 seconds, it's down to 4:02 with 100km to go.

Cannondale have doubl🔯ed their efforts on the front of the bunch and Europcar have too because we're coming to the intermediate sprint. Sagan isnt inꦏ the mix.

Greipel leads the bunch over with Kittel and Kristoff. Sagan sat back, saving his efforts for th final climbs a🃏nd the finish.

꧂After the sprint the pelot🌃on has kept the pressure on, the gap at 4:10.

The peloton have just gone through the feedzone, Vansummeren on Talansky duty as ﷽he rides with his American team leader.

The gap has gone out, the peloton look set to try and catch the break on the climbs stacked before the 𝐆finish. The time gap is at 4'31 with 85km to go.

Porte, Nibali and Valverde ꧋ride close to each other near the front of the peloto🌠n as out ahead Delaplace takes a long turn on the fron of the break.

Talansky is in trouble. He's off the back of the bunch and he c🌳an't even hold the wheel of a group chasing back on. He's on his own on a shal♋low gradient. He's alone too...

Talansky is back with the Garmin team car now, his left arm wrapped up from his crashes earlier in the race. H🅠e's lost nearly a minute on the bunc𝔉h already.

The Dauphine winner came into the ra༺ce💝 with so many hopes and his best form. Several crashes and significant time gaps have seen his race fall apart though. He's still fighting on though.

He just doesnt look comfortable on the bike though, his style 🍃laboured as the team car pulls up to him once more. He clearly wants to 🍒carry on.

Talansky is losing more time and🍰 he's not even in the cars now. He has 74km to go.

The Garmin Sharp car pul♐ls alongside Talansky once more. There's a brief chat and he starts to push on once more. He's over five minutes down on the break and two minutes down 𝄹on the main feild.

At the head of the bunch Cannondale increase the pace and the break are now✨ at 3:00, Talansky over 5:50.

It's roughly 12km to go un🅠til the first climb of the day, the third category Cote de Rogna.

Puncture 👍for Voigt but he's chaꩲsing again after just a quick change.

Talansky is now over seven minutes down.

Garmin are now drivꦿing the bunch along and they're not slowing it down. They have their entire team on the front now.

Slagter is a rider suited for today's stage, Gerrans too 💮as we see him move up as well. We're just about to hit the first climb of the day, 7.6km in length.

52km remaining from 187km

Langeveld pulls over an♏d the next Garmin ride❀r takes over. It's almost all over for Talansky though.

Talansky is off his bike and sitting by the side of the ro༺ad. He's talking to the doctors and the medical staff but it's all over for the young American.

Back in the peloton and more and more riders are slipping back as Garmin ke🐻ep the pace high.

Slagter is second in wheel at the moment and Nibali has moved up to near the front of the 🎀peloton.

We're into the final 50km of racing and the break is 𒊎at 1:20 as we see Talansky get back on his bike and pedal on. He's clearly emotional but he just wants to finish and get through the stage. It's a ride to be admired.

Robbie Hunter is driving the Garmin car and he pulls alongside Talansky. They're talking about getti♛ng to the ꦐfinish.

꧙Now there's an atta🌊ck from Tinkoff Saxo as Elmiger goes clear of Lemoine.

It's Roche. He's shot out f𒉰rom the bunch with Brꦓice Feillu.

Garmin have blown it seems and it's Asta🐠na who set the pace at the front o🌜f the peloton.

Now an attack frmom BMC as Elmiger sees the 1km to go banꦕner. Roche has now linked up with Slagter and one other rider.  The BMC rider༒ has been caught though.

Lemonie has 🐼been caught by Roche, Bakelants and Slagter ꧋with Elmiger still clear on his own.

That's a dangerous little gr✤🐎oup as now Rolland makes a move.

1:08 for Elmiger, the chasing four at 44 seconds.

At the top of the climb Roche pushe൩d on and only Bakelants could make contact.

Elmiger is on the next climb, the Cote de Choux. He has oᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ🏅ne minute on the main field.

It's Orica who lift the pace aღt the front of the peloton with Tuft taking a huge turn.

Rolland has gone again and this attack ꦛlooks stronger. Movistar have also attacked.

Sagan🔜 keeps his men on the front though and hasꦰn't been drawn into the attacks just yet.

39km remaining from 187km

Roche and Bakelants are about to make contact with Elmi♍ger, t🥀heir gap at 44 seconds.

Herrada and Gautier are the nex🌼t group on the road but there's no time check on them at this stage. The leaders are close to the next climb, the 4th cat Cote de Desertin.

We now have 🅠five leaders on the road, with ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚthe time check at 35 seconds.

Behind them Cannondale continue to do all the work as we see Chavanel drop back to t🌳he IAM Cycling team car.

Elmiger is first over the꧒ climb and then drifts to theಞ back of the group and the gap holds at 32 seconds.

28km remaining from 187km

Just one more climb to come, the Cote d'Echallon.

22km remaining from 187km

Bakelants is trying to bring it all back together and Elmiger is ౠhanging in there.

IAM tired. Elmiger has been dropped.

And it's Gautier who forces the p𒉰ace and it's Roche who  is trying to get back on terms.

Elmiger has been🃏 cau🐻ght by the bunch and Rodriguez has been dropped too.

Roche is now on his own ꦛand leading the race with 28 seconds on the main field with 20km to go.

Roche has 12 seconds on the rest of🍎 the break, the bunch at 26 seconds as the riders grind up this final climb.

Roche i𒀰s starting to rock his head and shoulders, he's starting to struggle but he's holding is lead as he closes in the t🐻op of the climb.

And Se♔rpa and Scarponi, former teammates, crash on the climb. They're both up and 𒈔riding again though.

It's still Cannondale leading the bunch as the gap to Roche drops to 18 se꧅conds.

Over the top of the climb and now Roche can descend but he has just 13 seconds over ඣthe main field.

It looks like Omega are leading the chase now so it's just Roche out in front with 17km to go. It's a technical descent  so riders can't push it t✱oo much.

And it's Tony Martin who leads and there are splits all over the place, Ni🍎bali and Sagan are in the lead group but there's less than a dozen riders in the yellow jers♔ey group.

Tony Martin continues to set the pac🧸e as Roche is brought🔯 back.

No flat roads now as the road kicks up. Rui Costa is in the yellow jersey group as well, Porte too it see🐎ms as more and more riders latch onto the Martin express.

Sagan is on the front now and he's just waiting for the at💛tacks to start.

13km remaining from 187km

Sagan has one more teammate, and he's posted him𓆉 on the front to ꦐlead the chase.

Gallopin only has a couple of seconds as the race hits another sharp desce🍒nt.

There's aro𓃲und 40 riders left in the yellow jersey group as we see Gallopin hold his lead: just.

10km remaining from 187km

It's coming back for Sagan but Gallopin💦 is sti⭕ll clear.

The Lotto rider is cutting through the corners so we🐬ll as we se♛e Sagan caught.

Tinkoff are now leading the chas✤e behind Gallopin.

Gallopin has 8 seconds with 6km go to.

The Lotto rider is starting to take a few risks but he's keeping it togeꦺther.

Rogers is leading the 𝄹chase💜 behind with Sagan in third wheel.

Kwiatkowski, Sagan and Rog🐷ers have caught Gallopin wi🌜th 4km to go.

And Sagan takes it up and starts se☂tting the pace.

It's Movistar who are sꦇetting the pace as Rogers leads the Sagan group. The gap is less than 10 seconds.

The French rider is closin𒁏g in on the finish and he's got a decent gap here.

1.3km to go and Gallopin is hea෴ding for the win because the chasing three can꧂'t work together.

The chase group has been caught.

Gallopin is headin🌟g to the line, he just needs to kick🌊 once more.
