SPOILER - 20KM to go

With a mere 20KM to go, Moinard still has about a minute advantage over the 11 riders on his tail.

He's crested the Col del Bouich and is pedaling fast.

Oscar Pereiro is still in no-mans-land ahead of the peloton and behind the 12 guys in the lead. His deficit is 14:30.

SPOILER - Col del Bouich

From letour.fr.

The Col del Bouich is a 5.2km climb with an average gradient of 3.8 percent. Its summit is 22.5km from the finish of the 11th stage.

So it's a fairly quick mountain with a moderate grade. I'm thinking the group will gather together on the slopes here and then all 12 of them will rocket into the finish.

It's 10:20AM locally, so I don't know what's about to happen. I'm watching and writing. SOOOO COOL!

SPOILER - Less than 30KM to go

Amael Moinard’s lead is down to 1:45 and the pack behind him is gaining. In that group are Arvesen, Ballan, Botcharov, Fofonov, Elmiger, Wegmann, Moerenhout, Velo, Vaugrenard, Pozzato and Fedrigo.

Then, Oscar Pereiro is the lone rider in no-man's land about a minute and a half ahead of the peloton - which is at 16:30.

Moinard has started the category 3 Col del Bouich.
