Now the favorites of the 109th Tour de France are challenged. On the eleventh stage over 151.7 kilometers from Albertville to the Col du Granon, things really get down to business in the Alps on Wednesday.
The Lacets de Montvernier, a mountain of the second category, still serves as a warm-up program for the professional cyclists. But then the Col du Télégraphe, the 2642 meter high mountain giant Col du Galibier, before it finally comes to the Col du Granon, another climb of the highest category.
