Overview

• Jonas Abrahamsen launched a long-range breakaway over the 156 km Toulouse loop and outsprinted Mauro Schmid to claim his first Grand Tour stage victory.
• Defending champion Tadej Pogacar crashed with 4 km remaining but rejoined the peloton unscathed after rivals eased the pace to let him back on his bike.
• Ireland’s Ben Healy retained the yellow jersey with a 29-second lead over Pogacar following stage 11’s hilly profile.
• A protester wearing an “Israel out of the Tour” T-shirt ran onto the final straight and was quickly restrained by security, briefly disrupting the sprint finish.
• The peloton now turns to stage 12’s 180.6 km course and the first high-mountain summit finish on Hautacam.
