Stages and Riders
Stage 11 Brief:Stage 11 has five significant climbs: at the 28 kms mark, the Cat 1 Col de Menté (a 9.3 kms climb at 8.6%); at the 43.5 kms mark, the Cat 2 Col du Portet d'Aspet (a 4.4 kms climb at 9.7%); at the 79 kms mark, the Cat 2 Col de la Core (a 14.2 km climbs at 5.8%); at the 126.5 kms mark, the Cat 2 Col de Port (a 10.8 km climb at 4.6%); at the 170 kms mark, the Hors Category Plateau de Beille (a 15.7 kms climb at 7.6%).The riders cross familiar paths today where some great Tour battles have been staged. The second Pyrenees stage crosses 3 mountain passes before the climax at Plateau de Beille (hosting a Tour finish for the first time). The first climb of the Mente pass, saw Luis Ocana (Spain) fall in 1971 and abandon the Tour just when he was looking set to win the Tour. He had dominated the maestro, Eddy Merckx in the mountains that year. At the next climb, we recall the death of Italian Fabio Casartelli in 1995. He died after hitting a concrete barrier while descending with a small breakaway group. The next climb of the Col de Port has had its share of Tour moments. the climb is 1249 metres and in 1929 the sure bet Victor Fontan lost the yellow jersey after a major fall. Yesterday mist, rain and cold; today cloudness, sunny and warm! Italian Marco Pantani came through the pack late in the final ascent of Plateau de Beille to take Stage 11 and he also took some 1.39 out of Jan Ullrich. He is now 3.01 down on GC and has the Alps to come early next week. Swiss rider Roland Meier had set the pace over the final stages, having attacked on the 3rd of 5 mountains in the stage. Meier crashed but was able to recover the finish close behind Pantani. Pantani told the press later that: `` My main goal in entering the Tour was to win this stage because it was the most beautiful climb in the race. Now I hope to win the other stage finishing in altitude, next week in Les Deux Alpes. As for overall victory, I think I lost too much energy in winning the Giro." Ullrich had earlier punctured and only Riis and Totshnig were able to help him. Press reports said he struggled, but from the TV coverage he looked very strong. But the puncture lost him time.
