Stage 11 moved into the sunny south western region of France where the conditions were predicted to be the warmest and driest yet in this years tour. Only problem is the weatherman didn’t get the memo.
Rain and cold wreaked havoc on the riders during stage 11, but didn’t dampen the spirits of Mark Cavendish as he netted his third stage victory. From listening to commentary from Paul, and Phil, I believe Cav had predicted 5 to 7 stage wins during this years tour. So far he has 3, with a couple of more very close seconds. I believe there may be a few more opportunities to come.
But now, the mountains. As the tour inches closer to Spain, the tour enters the Pyrenees with three major climbs, so stay tuned for fireworks.
