Tour de France: Wout van Aert wins stage 11 after double ascent of Mont Ventoux – as it happened

Ventoux #Ventoux

A look ahead to tomorrow: “There are two scenarios for this run through the gorges of the Ardèche and the hills to the west of the Rhône,” writes William Fotheringham. “Either the race will follow the usual pattern of doomed breakaway, late catch, bunch sprint. Or the mistral will blow from somewhere between north-west and east and all hell will break loose late on as the bunch splinters in the wind. The former scenario favours the sprinters, the latter the strongest team in the race: Ineos or Deceuninck, with Sagan as a wild card.”
