2011 Tour de France

Tour de France 2011: Luz Ardiden analysis and thoughts

Ross · 15 Jul 2011 ·

It’s a day late, for which I apologize (grant proposals due at work!), but hopefully better late than never, some analysis of the first big mountains of the 2011 Tour de France. The race’s first foray into the Pyrenees went some of the way towards ‘cleaning up’ the top page of the overall GC, but […]

Enter the Pyrenees

Ross · 14 Jul 2011 ·

Today sees the first of the big encounters that will decide the Tour de France.  For the next 10 days, the Pyrenees and the Alps will loom large before the GC riders still remaining in this year’s Tour de France. There are four mountain top finishes in the the next ten days of racing, all […]

The Tour 2011 takes on a new complexion

Ross · 09 Jul 2011 ·

Today the Tour rolls into its first ‘taste’ of mountains, with a finish up to Super-Besse Sancy that will almost certainly see a change in the yellow jersey. Thor Hushovd has commanded yellow for since the team-time trial, but his slim lead over a host of riders is likely to be erased over a stage […]
