Kooij and Philipsen defeated in a very strange sprint


Kooij and Philipsen defeated in a very strange sprint

Soren Waerenskjold wins the eleventh stage of the Tour de France, from Vichy to Nevers (161.3 km).
Today was a rather uneventful day, with four men attacking from the start of the race: Le Berre , Alaphilippe , Oliveira and Charmig gained a maximum advantage of 1'30", with the sprinters' teams keeping the situation under control.
The breakaways are caught 6 km from the finish, while the sprinters' trains set off only 2 km from the finish. In the final straight, neither team is particularly organized. Bol tries to get ahead, but it's Waerenskjold who has the best start, surprising everyone with a sprint near the barriers.
Second place for Kooij , third for Philipsen . Girmay and Merlier remain closed.
Everything remains unchanged in the general classification, tomorrow will be another completely flat day dedicated to the fast wheels.
