Visma-Lease a Bike used Matteo Jorgenson to set the pace on the penultimate climb, then linked up with Victor Campenaerts, who was also in the attack of the day, to help Yates and be there as a so-called 'satellite' rider. They were tactical moves rather than all-out attacks on Pogačar.

Tadej Pogacar was allowed to recover from a late crash on stage 11 of the Tour de France as Jonas Abrahamsen held on for his first Tour win.

Luckily, Pogačar avoided hitting his head and was able to get back on his feet fairly quickly.
