It’s a first for Evaux-les-Bains on the Tour de France, which is not the case for Le Lioran. The 2016 edition say a stage finish in the ski area after a finale with the Pas de Peyrol, Col du Perthus and Col de Font de Cère. The same climbs are on the menu in the last 31 kilometres of this year’s 11th stage. So, respectively 5.4 kilometres of climbing at 8.1% (last 3 kilometres at 12%), 4.4 kilometres at 7.9%, and 3.3 kilometres at 5.9%.
The Col de Font de Cère peaks out with 2.5 kilometres remaining. Most of it goes downhill before the last few hundred metres rise at 6% to the line.
Eight edition ago, Greg Van Avermaet soloed to victory from the breakaway in Le Lioran. He launched his winning attack on the Col du Perthus and took both stage and the yellow jersey. The Olympic Champion of Rio de Janeiro thus succeeded his compatriot Michel Polentier, who was victorious in Le Lioran in 1975.
The last hour of action is harder than in 2016 as the Peyrol/Perthus/Font de Cère comination is preceded by Col de Néronne, which is punchy test of 3.8 kilometres at 9.1%. The total elevation gain in the 11th stage of the tour de France adds up to 4,200 metres.
