The 11th stage of the Tour de France 2023 is a 16.5km individual time trial that will test the riders' endurance and skill. The route features an uphill climb for the first 11km, with a steady 4% gradient, followed by a descent through a small canyon and a twisty passage through the streets of Thonon. The stage is expected to be dominated by the time trial specialists, with Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quickstep) and Tadej Pogačar (UAE) as the top contenders. However, the presence of Jonas Vingegaard and his team's aggressive performance in the previous stages could create challenges for Evenepoel and Pogačar. The stage will be broadcast on TV, with the first rider, Kamil Gradek, starting at 13:00 CEST, and Tadej Pogačar starting at 17:15 CEST. The stage is expected to be hot and windy, with temperatures reaching 27°C and a 10km/h wind from the NE, providing a challenging environment for the riders.
