Tour de France Stage 11 Winner

Having gone a week without a victory, France celebrated its third consecutive road stage success thanks to Pierre Rolland, who was the last man standing at the summit finish at La Toussuire. Living up to Europcar team manager Jean-René Bernaudeau's promise that Rolland would win this stage, the Frenchman spent most of the day in the break and eventually came home 55 seconds clear of a very select yellow jersey group, which was led in by his young compatriot and fellow stage-winner Thibaut Pinot (FDJ-BigMat).

Tour de France Betting Odds: The Tour de France cycles into yet another Eastern France town, making a small loop from Albertville to La Toussuire. Another high mountain stage, the riders will face perhaps the most grueling stage of the entire Tour on this day. With several leg pounding ascents, the cyclists had better bring their oxygen masks, because they will be gasping for air at some of the highest altitudes they will face in any stage. This will be one of those stages that will make you glad that you are simply betting on the Tour de France online, rather than putting on a helmet, grabbing your 10-speed and heading out into the mountains of France.

Stage 11 is the shortest of the Tour that is not an individual time-trial at 140 km. However, the steep grades will have the riders feeling like it is a trip around the world by the end of it.

The stage begins from Albertville, a town that has hosted only one previous stage but has often seen the Tour pass through its streets. Then, the riders will be hit with a climb up to a 2 km high peak known as Col de la Madeleine. Dropping down over 1.5 km, the riders will then be forced to make another climb, this time to 2.07 km, as if this peak needed to best its earlier counterpart. Finally, the stage will end in La Toussuire - Les Sybelles, finishing the final 20 km with yet another steep ascent.

This stage, the first of the second half of the Tour, should separate the men from the boys. Head to BookMaker to use the live lines for this grueling stage as fodder for a Tour de France bet online.
