Le Tour de France 2011
Stage 12: Cugnaux > Luz Ardiden 211km
Stage Infomation (from cyclingnews.com)
Luz-Ardiden is back on the Tour route for the first time since 2003, when Lance Armstrong won there after his unforgettable collision with a fan and the "did he wait?" Debate that subsequently blew up around Jan Ullrich. This will bring an end to the phony war between the favourites for the yellow jersey. Preceding the final climb is the first-ever ascent of the narrow road that winds up through the trees to the Hourquette d'Ancizan, followed by the Tourmalet from the La Mongie-side. Coming off there, the race heads straight onto the final climb.

This should be a great stage. I doubt they will look at each other like they usually do on the first mountain stage, the profile should be too hard for that, and someone should take the opportunity to create serious gaps, Leopard most likely.
And I won't work overtime tomorrow, that's for sure! |

If offense is the best defence, does it mean that defence is the worst defence?
