Europcar has kept the yellow jersey through Thomas Voeckler, the French squad has lost the leadership team rankings which now sees Leopard-Trek in command. Still, the host nation can still relish the strength of another team that has emerged with a consistent performance in the Pyrenees: AG2R-La Mondiale may habe lost its climber John Gadret who didn’t start the 11th stage but the team managed by Vincent Lavenu placed three men in the top 30: Hubert Dupont 15th, Nicolas Roche 17th and Jean-Christophe Peraud 26th. It means that the only French team in the WorldTour won the stage to Luz Ardiden.
Leopard-Trek is in the lead of the general classification with Europcar at 1’05” and AG2R-La Mondiale at 2'21” – while the outgoing champions, RadioShack has slipped down the rankings and is 4'08” behind the squad from Luxembourg.
