Tour de France 2022 stage 11 preview: Route map and profile from Albertville to Col du Granon

The next two days of the Tour de France will almost certainly prove pivotal in deciding who wins this year’s race.

Yellow Jersey Tadej Pogacar has very rarely been put in trouble since he won his first Tour in dramatic fashion two years ago. But the likes of Jonas Vingegaard, Geraint Thomas, Adam Yates, David Gaudu and Romain Bardet are going to have to try and conjure up something if they have genuine aspirations of beating him.

On Wednesday, the riders tackle the Col du Telegraphe, the vicious Col du Galibier, and the steep climb to the finish atop the Col du Granon Serre Chevalier.

There will be splits and time gained and lost during this stage and it could well end with Pogacar cementing his status as the best rider in the race.

He currently leads Vingegaard by 39 seconds, with Thomas one minute and 17 seconds adrift. But can anyone stop the flying Slovenian as we head into the high mountains?
