Stage 11 of the Tour de France 2024 was not presented as a brutal day of mountains. However UAE Team Emirates and Tadej Pogacar lit the race up to create the biggest differences in the race so far. But after so much work and attacking, the yellow jersey lost 1 second to Jonas Vingegaard in a day where a few riders struggled quite a lot.
All eyes were on Tadej Pogacar, who started in the yellow jersey followed by Remco Evenepoel and Jonas Vingegaard, with Primoz Roglic behind. The Spaniards should also be protagonists, with Juan Ayuso, Carlos Rodriguez and Mikel Landa in the Top 10.
That said, the stage turned out to be a complete madness in the fight for the general classification. Vingegaard took the day's victory, crossing at the finish line with Pogacar, whom he gives a strong mental blow after catching him late in the day, following several kilometers behind after being dropped in the Puy Mary. The Dane managed to cut a second off the Slovenian for his victory, now 1 minute and 14 seconds behind.
Behind, Evenepoel finished 25 seconds behind the stellar duo, maintaining second overall, but only 8 seconds ahead of Vingegaard. Roglic was fourth, the Slovenian crashed in the finale but was given the same time as Evenepoel and is now sitting 2:15 minutes behind the race lead.
Regarding the Spaniards, Juan Ayuso fell almost completely out of the Top 10 overall after losing fuel in the Puy Mary (now 9th, dropping 4 positions) along with an Enric Mas who sinks completely for the rest of the Tour de France (20th to 17 minutes and 26 seconds from the leader, and 10 minutes from the Top 10. Carlos Rodríguez and Mikel Landa saved the day by finishing 9th and 8th, respectively. Rodriguez moved up to 6th place, and Landa to 7th, benefiting from Ayuso's poor performance.
The rest of the Top 10 was made up of Joao Almeida, 5th, 4 minutes and 20 seconds behind leader Pogacar; Adam Yates, 8th; and Giulio Ciccone in tenth, less than 30 seconds behind Juan Ayuso.
