As expected, the brutal alpine climbs of Stage 11 of the 2018 Tour de France have upended the General Classification standings. Geraint Thomas of Team Sky took the stage win and the yellow jersey with a well timed attack in the final kilometer.
Stage 11 of the 2018 Tour de France is described by the Tour organization as a “brutal” 108.5km mountain stage from Albertville to La Rosière Espace San Bernardo.
Despite crashing on a day that was riddled with disaster, Briton Chris Froome continued his dominance of the 2016 Tour de France on a day that was won by Frenchman Romain Bardet.
