After crushing his top opponents a day earlier, Chris Froome is wearing the Tour de France leader’s yellow jersey and the pack has set off for a tough 11th stage over six mountain climbs.
More Pyrenean punishment looms in Wednesday’s stage over the famed Tourmalet pass and five lesser ascents along a 188-kilometer (117-mile) loop from Pau to Cauterets in deep southern France.
Froome’s dominant performance — like when he won the Tour in 2013 — has revived suspicions about doping that has plagued cycling. The British rider says he is clean, and he has never tested positive for doping.
Froome leads Tejay van Garderen, who is second, by 2 minutes, 52 seconds.
