Weather at the finish city of Pau at 1:25 PM local time: 20C (68F), cloudy, with the wind from the WNW at 8 km/hr (5mph). No rain is forecast.

Rated ascent:

• Km 145.5: Côte d'Aire-sur-l'Adour, 1.2 km @ 4.2% - cat. 4

The race: 180 riders started stage 11 at 1:04 PM local time. The stage started the same way several recent ones began. Three riders took off at the gun and were allowed to gain a serious gap. With just 18 kilometers ridden, Marco Marcato (UAE), Maciej Bodnar (Bora-hansgrohe) and Frederik Backaert (Wanty-Groupe Gobert) already have a 3min 40sec lead.

Km 50: Indeed, the trio have been allowed a little bit of slack on their leash. They have grown their gap to 4min 24sec. They are moving along rather briskly, having covered 43.6 km in the first hour. Lotto-Soudal and Quick-Step both have a rider working at the peloton's front with Sky right behind them.

Km 78: Perhaps the pack realized that the trio of Marcato, Bodnar and Backaert are three strong boys who actually present a danger of surviving to the end. The gap is down to 2min 36sec.

Km 105: With Philippe Gilbert performing the pack-pulling honors for Quick-Step, the gap to the lead trio is 2min 21sec.

Km 137: There was a crash in the feed zone. Perrig Quéméneur (Direct Energie) and Dario Cataldo (Astana) were the ground. John Degenkolb and Jakob Fuglsang were also involved. Cataldo looks to have a broken wrist and was taken away in an ambulance. It looks like the others are OK.

The gap to the lead trio is still 2min 30sec.

Km 155: Another crash. Arthur Vichot (FDJ) seemes to be the worst hurt. Romain Bardet was also involved. The peloton slowed to let the fallen riders get back on.

The break's gap is down to 1min 25sec

Km 164: Time to get ready for the big sprint in Pau. The lead trio have a gap of only 44sec.

The finish: With 28 km to go, Bodnar took off alone. Then the others were caught, but Bodnar wasn't back in the pack until there was less than a kilometer to go.

Marcel Kittel won the sprint, giving him his fifth stage win this year. Chris Froome remains the GC leader.

Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing:

Marcel Kittel of Quick-Step Floors took his fifth stage victory as he outsprinted Dylan Groenewegen and Edvald Boasson Hagen in Pau. Chris Froome retained the yellow jersey ahead of the first Pyrenean stage to Peyragudes.

180 riders started stage 11 in Eymet. Marco Marcato (UAE Team Emirates) was the first man out of the bunch right after the flag off. He was soon rejoined by Maciej Bodnar (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Frederik Backaert (Wanty-Groupe Gobert). The leading trio got a maximum advantage of 4.44 at km 44. Sprinters' team Quick-Step Floors, Lotto-Soudal and Katusha set the pace of the peloton and regulated their speed in order to remain about two and half minutes adrift.

It was a long procession on the straight roads of the Landes heading to Pau before tackling the Pyrenees. A crash happened in the feed zone at Labastide-d'Armagnac near the “Chapel of the Cyclists”. It took its toll to the Astana team of GC runner up Fabio Aru as super domestique Dario Cataldo was forced to pull out of the Tour de France with a broken wrist. Critérium du Dauphiné winner Jakob Fuglsang was also involved with an injured wrist while third placed overall Romain Bardet (AG2R-La Mondiale) went down but with no consequence.

With 30km to go, the deficit of the peloton was down to 30 seconds and Bodnar decided to go solo as there were 28km remaining. Alberto Contador (Trek-Segafredo) crashed 22km before the end. His former team-mate from the Tinkoff team forged on as long as he could. The Pole resisted to the return of the peloton until he was swallowed by the sprinters in the last 300 metres. After this cruel ending for the Bora-Hansgrohe rider, Marcel Kittel (Quick-Step Floors) timed it at perfection to claim his fifth stage victory in the 104th Tour de France. This was the 60th stage finish in Pau and the third German victory here. They all happened in years 7: Dietrich Thurau in 1977, Erik Zabel in 1997 and now Kittel.

Well before the line Marcel Kittel had the stage won.

And 2017 Tour stage win number five is his.

Deservingly, Maciej Bodnar was awarded the most aggressive rider red number

Stage winner Kittel

Thursday Chris Froome will have to defend his lead in the Pyrenees

Organizer's stage 11 preview:

Following Marcel Kittel's fourth stage win at Bergerac, another bunch gallop is expected at Pau, the third most visited city behind Paris and Bordeaux in the history of the Tour de France. At half way into stage 11, the peloton will greet “The Chapel of the Cyclists” at Labastide-d'Armagnac. It's a church full of cycling memorabilia such as champions' jerseys and bikes.

Jacques Anquetil, Tom Simpson, Bernard Hinault and Eddy Merckx are among the stars who donated some of their personal items to this museum of cycling. The last time the Tour de France passed by was in 2000 when the riders were going from Agen to Pau. It'll be the fifth time since 1984. In 1989, Labastide-d'Armagnac was even the starting location of a stage to Pau.

Stage 11 from Eymet to Pau is a long one, over 203.5km. The GC contenders will try to save as much energy as they possibly can ahead of the two Pyrenean stages that will follow. There's no difficulty on the course and very few possibilities for a different scenario than a sprint finish on the Verdun square nearby the castle of Henri IV.
