After the previous day's efforts, stage 11 is sure to make a further selection, with one Special cat. and one cat 1 mountain, and three of the cat 2 variety. Add to this another mountaintop finish and this stage could prove pivotal in deciding who's really in with a chance and who's not quite up for it. With about 1000m of climbing in the last 30km, look out for a burst from one of the climbers as they flex their muscles in a pretty tough stage finish - the next day is a rest day to recover, so watch out!
