The Pyrenees loom in the distance, but the peloton at the Tour de France won’t reach them until Thursday. First, there’s another very flat run, likely containing a sizable bunch sprint for Stage 11 on Wednesday.

Stage 11 will begin at 7 a.m. ET approximately, and will run through around 11:50 a.m. Television coverage of the stage will be carried by NBCSN beginning at 8 a.m. A live stream simulcast of that coverage will be available online at NBC Sports and via the NBC Sports app.
The only way to watch the stage from the beginning in the United States is a subscription to NBC Sports Gold, which includes coverage of all stages for the Tour de France.
Stage 11 takes the peloton 203.5 kilometers from Eymet to Pau, with one intermediate sprint and one Category 4 climb at Cote d’Aire-sur-l’Adour.
Chris Froome still has the yellow jersey and is having a great tour, but Marcel Kittel is the man of the hour after winning his fourth stage of the tour on Tuesday. Kittel has the green jersey, and given that Stage 11 is another no-nonsense stage likely to end in a sprint, it seems silly to pick against Kittel.
Mark Cavendish won six stages in 2009 and Kittel seems primed to at least equal that feat this year. Cavendish is out of this year’s Tour de France.
It’s the 68th time that the city of Pau has played host to the Tour, due to its location in the foothills of the Pyrenees.
Below are the full Stage 11 route, profile, and viewing information for those in the United States.
