Stage 11 - Avranches - Mont-Saint-Michel
Individual Time Trial (33Km)
One symbol follows another. After Coëtquidan and Saint-Malo, the Tour will be setting up camp in front of Mont Saint-Michel for another stage that promises to be spectacular. French countryside will get a tremendous publicity boost if the sun decides to come to the party as well. Mont Saint-Michel is France's second most popular tourist attraction after the Eiffel Tower, and images of it will be broadcast to two billion viewers across the world? All this could almost make us forget that, back on the road, there will a great duel between the rouleurs. As part of the balancing act designed to maintain suspense, we have opted for a shorter time trial than those in recent editions.
