Tadej Pogacar takes a bow as he crosses the line to clinch victory on stage six of the Tour de France

Pogacar hits back to win stage six of Tour de France and close on Vingegaard

  • Slovenian catches rival by surprise with violent acceleration
  • Vingegaard takes yellow jersey as Jai Hindley wilts

Wrist injury or no wrist injury, Tadej Pogacar is unlikely to ever back down. After losing time in the first Pyrenean stage to Laruns, the Slovenian came out fighting on stage six of the Tour de France, a mountain finish to Cauterets-Cambasque, throwing down the gauntlet to the defending champion, Jonas Vingegaard.

In what was his 10th stage win in the Tour and yet another virtuoso solo attack from the 2020 and 2021 victor, Pogacar justified the belief that, despite his long lay-off, he will get better as the race goes on.

Afterwards, buoyed by reaching double figures in stage wins, he joked: “I’m coming for you Mark Cavendish! It’s a bit cocky to say that, but I’m happy to have just one stage win. Today I was just as happy as when I first won three years ago.”

The pendulum that seemed to be swinging inexorably in favour of last year’s winner has now begun to move back towards Pogacar. But the 24-year-old dismissed talk of his win as revenge. “It’s good to win today and take back some time,” he said. “I feel a little bit of relief and feel much better now.”

Pogacar’s success was the result of a shock attack on Vingegaard, just under 4km from the finish at the Cambasque mountain resort.

Unable to respond to the UAE Emirates rider’s violent acceleration, the Dane was compensated by his first yellow jersey of this year’s race and a pat on the back from the French president, Emmanuel Macron.

“I’m super-happy to be back in the maillot jaune ,” Vingegaard said. “I hoped to stay with Tadej but he was really strong on the last climb, so he deserved to win.”

Jumbo-Visma’s team leader benefited from some stellar support on his way to his latest yellow jersey, with both of his teammates, Wout van Aert and Sepp Kuss, giving their all on the towering climb of the Col du Tourmalet.

“I was thinking when they started pulling on the Tourmalet: ‘Shit, if it’s going to happen like yesterday we can pack our bags and go home,’” Pogacar said. “Luckily I had good legs today and could follow on the Tourmalet quite comfortably. I just put myself in the right position, ready to go, but like I said, I was hanging on for dear life.”

Jonas Vingegaard with Tadej Pogacar on stage six

While Vingegaard and his teammates stuck to their plan, Pogacar, bereft of help in the closing kilometres, was having to improvise. “You can have plan A, plan B, plan C – the whole alphabet – and a hundred different things can happen,” said the stage winner. “In cycling it’s so difficult to follow the tactics because there are so many circumstances you can’t predict.”

As the peloton exits the Pyrenees, the pair look closely matched, with just 25 seconds separating them. “I guess it will be an exciting Tour this year,” Vingegaard noted, deadpan.

While Pogacar and Vingegaard moved ahead on the penultimate climb, the overnight race leader, Bora-Hansgrohe’s Jai Hindley wilted. After less than 24 hours in the yellow jersey, Hindley’s hopes went south as the leading groups rode past the ski station at La Mongie, 4km from the top of the giant climb of Tourmalet. The Australian managed to fight back on the long descent that followed, limiting his deficit to Vingegaard to just 1min 34sec at the finish, with Simon Yates fourth overall a further 1min 40sec back.

“That was just an epic day riding round in the yellow jersey and doing some mythical climbs,” Hindley said. “To be honest, I got my arse handed to me, but really enjoyed it.”

Vingegaard appeared as enthused about President Macron as many in the crowd. Asked what the head of state had said to him he struggled to recall, before responding: “He said it was nice to see me again – I think he remembered me from last year.”

Pogacar dedicated his stage win to his partner, Urska Zigart, who was forced to abandon the women’s Giro d’Italia, the Giro Donne, after crashing and suffering a concussion. “Of course, today she was already at home not racing. She gave me all the power,” he said. “This one was for her.”

Tour de France: Tadej Pogacar claws back time with victory at Cauterets-Cambasque

Hindley drops down overall standings as Vingegaard moves into maillot jaune

Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) remains firmly in the hunt to win the Tour de France after he dropped Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) to win a dramatic stage 6 to Cauterets.

Vingegaard did enough to divest Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) of the yellow jersey after springing onto the attack on the penultimate climb of the Col du Tourmalet, but it was hard to couch the first summit finish of the race as anything other than a bracing defeat for the Dane.

After beating Pogačar convincingly in the first round of their contest in the Pyrenees on Wednesday, Vingegaard seemed to be eyeing an early knock-out blow throughout stage 6, which brought the race over the Aspin and Tourmalet ahead of the finishing climb.

Tadej Pogačar: I have nothing to lose in this year's Tour de France Tadej Pogacar keeps Tour de France Pyrenees time loss in perspective Tour de France 2023 – Analysing the contenders

For most of the day, the terms of engagement were duly dictated by the Jumbo-Visma squad, who dispatched Wout van Aert in the early break and then split the race asunder on the Tourmalet with 50km remaining, distancing Hindley and the rest of the podium contenders with a disquieting facility to tee up a Vingegaard attack that only Pogačar could follow.

Van Aert waited for Vingegaard and Pogačar on the descent of the Tourmalet before leading them back up to the break, and on the final climb to Cauterets, the Belgian proceeded to lay down a brisk tempo on behalf of his teammate.

The inevitable Vingegaard acceleration arrived with 4.6km to go, but Pogačar managed to resist the Dane's onslaught, even if, at first, he gave the impression of a man clinging on to his Tour challenge.

Instead, Pogačar was simply in the process of conjuring up a rope-a-dope strategy worthy of Muhammad Ali. 2.8km from the summit, Pogačar rose from his saddle and accelerated sharply out of Vingegaard's rear wheel, immediately opening a sizeable gap on the Dane.

Vingegaard scrambled to keep the deficit at around 50 metres for a time before gradually ceding ground to Pogačar all the way to the summit, crossing the line 24 seconds behind the two-time Tour winner.

"I would not say revenge but it's good to win today and take back some time. I feel a little bit of relief and feel much better now," Pogačar said.

"The display Jonas showed yesterday was incredible and I was thinking when they started pulling on the Tourmalet: 'Shit, if it's going to happen like yesterday, we can pack our bags and go home.' Luckily, I had good legs today and I could follow on the Tourmalet quite comfortably. Then, when I felt it was the right moment in the end I attacked. It was a big relief."

The overnight leader Hindley was the best of the other GC contenders, but he was already two minutes down on Pogačar and Vingegaard atop the Tourmalet, and he came home 2:39 down in the company of Carlos Rodriguez (Ineos) and Simon Yates (Jayco-Alula).

Although Vingegaard had the consolation of claiming the yellow jersey, he lies just 25 seconds ahead of Pogačar. Hindley is now third at 1:34 and the Tour, as if we didn't know it already, is a straight duel between Pogačar and Vingegaard.

"I would say it's almost perfect the gap," Pogačar said. "It's going to be a big, big battle until the last stage, I think."

Vingegaard, meanwhile, had the look of a man who knows he is in a real contest. "We wanted to try to test him again today and see how he felt," he said. "I suppose he felt better than yesterday. It's going to be one hell of a battle all the way to Paris."

How it unfolded

Vingegaard's show of force on the opening day in the Pyrenees had suggested that he was a rung ahead of even Pogačar, and for most of stage 6, Jumbo-Visma raced as though they were certain of it. Although Hindley's Bora-Hansgrohe squad exercised a little more control on the opening kilometres than UAE Team Emirates had done the previous day, it was still a brisk start to proceedings and the seemingly indefatigable Van Aert was again the main driver of the early break, attacking from the start in the company of Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal-QuickStep).

Van Aert and Alaphilippe would eventually be joined by a group of 20 riders that included Matteo Trentin (UAE Team Emirates), Michał Kwiatkowski (Ineos Grenadiers), Neilson Powless, James Shaw (EF Education-EasyPost), Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck), Ruben Guerreiro (Movistar) and Jonas Gregaard (Uno-X), and they amassed a lead of 3:20 ahead of the Col d'Aspin.

Powless led over the Aspin, and the front group was whittled down still further on the mighty Tourmalet, where Alaphilippe set off on the attack with Shaw. Van Aert, however, soon took command of affairs, bringing back Alaphilippe and then setting a tempo that only Kwiatkowski, Guerreiro, Powless, Shaw and Tobias Halland Johannessen (Uno-X) could follow.

At the same moment, Jumbo-Visma had massed at the head of the yellow jersey group, gradually dialling up the intensity as the Tourmalet wore on. Their grand offensive began in earnest 4km from the summit when Wilco Kelderman set a pace that only Sepp Kuss, Pogačar, Vingegaard and Hindley could follow, while the rest of the podium contenders were scattered down the mountainside.

Hindley was burnt off once Kuss came to the front before Vingegaard climbed from the saddle and launched a searing acceleration with 2.5km of the climb remaining. Remarkably, Vingegaard's effort meant that he and Pogačar gained two minutes on all of their rivals on the upper reaches of the Tourmalet, and it later emerged that the Dane had bettered the previous record time for the ascent by a similar margin.

Vingegaard and Pogačar, in other words, were operating on a different plane to anybody else in the race, at a level rarely, if ever, seen in the history of the Tour. Over the top of the Tourmalet and down the other side, men like Hindley, the Yates brothers and Romain Bardet (DSM) tried to find common cause to limit the damage, but the gaps are already eye-watering with over two weeks of the Tour still to come.

After Pogačar, Hindley is now the only rider within three minutes of Vingegaard's lead, while the Yates brothers and Rodriguez are the only men within four minutes of the maillot jaune.

"What can I say, it was just an epic day riding around in the yellow jersey doing some mythical climbs and to be honest I got my arse handed to me," Hindley said. "But I really enjoyed it."

Tour de France 2023 stage 6 LIVE: Winner, highlights and standings after Pogacar stuns Vingegaard

Tadej Pogacar bounced back in vintage fashion to win the sixth stage of the Tour de France on Thursday, gaining a psychological edge over Jonas Vingegaard even though the defending champion took the overall leader’s yellow jersey.

The Slovenian, who lost ground to Vingegaard in Wednesday’s first mountain stage, resisted his rival’s attack in the Col du Tourmalet before going solo on the final climb to Cauterets-Cambasque and beating the Jumbo Visma rider by 24 seconds.

After Australian Jai Hindley, who claimed the yellow jersey on Wednesday, was dropped before the top of the Tourmalet, Vingegaard and Pogacar were set to fight for the stage win on the last ascent, a 16-km effort at 5.4%.

Pogacar attacked with 2.7km left, taking Vingegaard by surprise after the Dane’s team had done everything to set him up for the win all day.

Overall, Vingegaard leads Pogacar by 25 seconds and third-placed Hindley by one minute and 34 seconds.

16:26 , Lawrence Ostlere

Jai Hindley comes in two and a half minutes down on the leaders – he will give up the yellow jersey to Jonas Vingegaard. Pogacar will be second in the general classification, about half a minute down on the Danish reigning champion. What a Tour we have in store now.

16:23 , Lawrence Ostlere

What an assault by Pogacar! He wins stage six with that unmatchable solo attack to the summit at Cauterets. Vingegaard comes home 23 or 24 seconds down, as well as some time bonus too.

Tour de France stage six – Pogacar closes in on finish line

16:22 , Lawrence Ostlere

400m to go: The road flattens out and this will suit Pogacar nicely – he is going to sprint to the line...

16:21 , Lawrence Ostlere

1km to go: Pogacar passes the flamme rouge with a 15 second lead over Vingegaard now...

Tour de France stage six – Pogacar pushes on towards stage win

16:20 , Lawrence Ostlere

1.5km to go: Vingegaard has done brilliantly to keep in touch – the gap is down to only seven seconds – but Pogacar is surely going to win the stage...

Tour de France stage six – Pogacar leaves Vingegaard behind

16:19 , Lawrence Ostlere

2km to go: Wow, what an attack by Pogacar. He looked cooked yesterday; now he looks unbeatable. He leaves Vingegaard about 10 seconds back down the mountain – can he increase the gap before the finish?

Tour de France stage six – Pogacar attacks!

16:17 , Lawrence Ostlere

3km to go: Pogacar remains locked on Vingegaard’s wheel. This is calm, sensible stuff from the Slovenian two-time champion, who usually takes the showman option... but now Pogacar attacks!

Tour de France stage six

16:15 , Lawrence Ostlere

3.5km to go: Vingegaard continues to keep a steady pace, and he glances back to see if Pogacar wants to attack and take the lead – Pogacar declines. That is not in his nature, to be defensive, but tactically it is the right move. He can save his legs for the top and beat Vingegaard to the win and the bonus seconds. Kwiatkowski falls back, unable to keep up.

Tour de France stage six – Vingegaard attacks!

16:12 , Lawrence Ostlere

4km to go: Van Aert pulls aside and Vingegaard accelarates! Pogacar is the only one of the lead group who can keep with him, and Vingegaard sees that and slows down. Kwiatkowski takes the opportunity to bridge back to the front two, and it’s now a three.

16:10 , Lawrence Ostlere

5km to go: The yellow jersey group of Jai Hindley and a bunch of other riders are about two and a half minutes behind the leaders, who remain locked on Van Aert’s wheel.

Tour de France stage six – Van Aert awarded combativity prize

16:05 , Lawrence Ostlere

7.5km to go: In news that won’t shock anybody, Wout van Aert has won the day’s combativity prize for the most aggressive rider.

Tour de France stage six - Powless loses contact

16:03 , Lawrence Ostlere

8.5km to go: Van Aert looks so strong. What a phenomenal performance by the Belgian, once again, who has been attacking on the front all day, having also challenged for sprints and hilly stages earlier this week. The definition of an elite all-rounder.

His pace is forcing Neilson Powless to lose contact with the leaders. So the front eight becomes seven:

Tobias Halland Johannessen (Uno-X), Ruben Guerreiro (Movistar), James Shaw (EF Education), Michal Kwiatkowski (Ineos), Jonas Vingegaard and Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), and Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates).

15:59 , Lawrence Ostlere

10km to go: So what is going to unfold at the front? At some point soon Wout van Aert is going to step aside and let Vingegaard attack, you would think. Pogacar will try to follow – he failed to do so yesterday, but he looks strong and composed right now.

Can any of the rest of this group challenge the big two for the stage win? Michael Kwiatkowski has lots of experience in these scenarios and Ruben Guerreiro is a strong climber. But the realistic answer is, no.

15:55 , Lawrence Ostlere

12km to go: The road isn’t too steep right now but legs must be starting to burn after such a brutal day at the end of a tough opening week to this Tour de France. The second group are about three minutes behind the lead pack, and the yellow jersey of Jai Hindley is in there. He will still have big ambitions for the podium, despite losing yellow today, and that is the battle in that second group now.

Emannuel Buchmann, Simon and Adam Yates and David Gaudu are all in that second group and have designs on a high GC placing.

Tour de France stage six – front group begin final cimb

15:49 , Lawrence Ostlere

16km to go: Wout van Aert leads the front eight on to the final climb. It doesn’t start too sharp but it tips up over 10% gradient near the top, where you would think we will see a Pogacar-Vingegaard showdown.

Tour de France stage six – lead groups merge

15:39 , Lawrence Ostlere

23km to go: So there are now eight riders at the front...

Tobias Halland Johannessen (Uno-X), Ruben Guerreiro (Movistar), James Shaw (EF Education), Michal Kwiatkowski (Ineos), Jonas Vingegaard and Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates) and Neilson Powless (EF Education).

Van Aert is the man on the front, pulling them along.

Tour de France stage six - group two closing in on leaders

15:37 , Lawrence Ostlere

25km to go: The chasers – Van Aert, Vingegaard, Pogacar and Powless – are closing in on the front quartet (Johannessen, Guerreiro, Shaw, Kwiatkowski) as they all near the foot of the final climb to the summit finish at Cauterets. The gap between the groups is down to about 20 seconds and it seems they will soon be climbing all together.

The winner of this stage is almost certainly among these eight riders.

15:29 , Lawrence Ostlere

35km to go : As it stands, Vingegaard will take the yellow jersey from the shoulders of Jai Hindley, who was left behind on the Tourmalet when Jumbo-Visma upped the pace.

Tour de France stage six - two groups of four lead the way

15:25 , Lawrence Ostlere

38km to go: So, a quick summary.

Tobias Halland Johannessen (Uno-X), Ruben Guerreiro (Movistar), James Shaw (EF Education) and Michal Kwiatkowski (Ineos) are flying down the descent from the Tourmalet towards the foot of the final climb to the summit finish.

About 30 seconds behind them is the group containing Jonas Vingegaard and Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates) and Neilson Powless (EF Education).

15:17 , Mike Jones

47 km to go: Wout van Aert leads until the final 100m of the climb before Tobias Halland Johannessen (Uno-X) takes the maximum 20 points in the king of the mountains classification. He went through a bit of jostling with Ruben Guerreiro (Movistar) but pipped him at the line.

Vingegaard and Pogacar crest the mountain just 43 seconds behind them.

15:12 , Mike Jones

48km to go: Sepp Kuss has done his job for Jumbo-Visma teammate Jonas Vingegaard and drops away leaving a two horse battle between the reigning champion and Tadej Pogacar.

Up ahead the breakaway group are entering the final kilometre of the Col du Tourmalet.

15:08 , Mike Jones

49km to go: Jai Hindley can’t keep up with Jumbo-Visma and Pogacar so drops back to the peloton. Wout van Aert is working hard for his teammates in the breakaway.

Jonas Vingegaard is going to be the favourite to win this stage right now.

Under two kilometres to go for the leaders until they crest the Tourmalet.

15:05 , Mike Jones

50km to go: Oh wow. Jumbo-Visma and Jonas Vingegaard make their move to attack over the top of the Tourmalet. Tadej Pogacar and Jai Hindley stick with them with around five km for this group to go before the summit.

15:01 , Mike Jones

51km to go : Four kilometres to until the summit of Col du Tourmalet. The breakaway has lost a few members and is now down to just 10 riders which includes Wout van Aert, Julian Alaphilippe and Neilson Powless.

Powless and Alaphilippe will be competing for the KOM points.

14:57 , Mike Jones

14:53 , Mike Jones

53 km to go: The breakaway is hitting the more difficult parts of the climb now and the peloton has reduced the time gap to under four minutes.

Wout van Aert is controlling the pace and tempo of the leaders once again.

14:42 , Mike Jones

56.5km to go: Jai Hindley has a near miss as one of his Bora-Hansgrohe helpers tried to pass him a water bottle and dropped it. It bounced in between the wheels of the yellow jersey holder who breathes a sigh of relief and carries on up the mountain.

Shaw and Alaphilippe are drawn back into the breakaway pack as they didn’t try to work together to stay out front.

14:37 , Mike Jones

58 km to go: Now then! Julian Alaphilippe kicks on and tries to some pace into the climb from the front of the peloton. James Shaw is up their with him but there’s a long, long way to go to the summit.

11km in fact.

14:36 , Mike Jones

59 km to go: Here is the virtual KOM classification after Col d’Aspin:

1. Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost), 30

2. Felix Gall (Ag2r-Citröen), 28

3. Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek), 19

4. Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe), 18

5. Daniel Martínez (Ineos Grenadiers), 15

That could all change by the time they get to the top of the Tourmalet though.

14:29 , Mike Jones

62 km to go: The breakaway has gone through a few kilometres in the long, arduous climb up the Col du Tourmalet. This trek is both gruelling and thrilling.

Wout van Aert, ever the competitor, is at the front. No surprises there.

14:25 , Mike Jones

65 km to go: The main attraction of this stage is the Col du Tourmalet. It’s a 17.1km climb up the iconic mountain which has an average gradient of 7.3%.

The gap between the breakaway leaders and the peloton is now up to four minutes 25 seconds. We’ll see how this climb goes to determine where this stage winner will come from.

14:22 , Mike Jones

67 km to go: American Neilson Powless moves back to the top of the King of the Mountains standings, taking the virtual polka dot jersey from Felix Gall. He said before the day that the KOM point were his target for stage six.

“I felt pretty good yesterday. I was just riding the wrong wave and missed the move.

“Today, I want to at least stay in the game a little bit. It depends. Felix Gall is a super strong climber, so it’ll be hard to take it off his shoulders. Today’s a really good opportunity for points but also a stage win.”

14:18 , Mike Jones

71 km to go: The breakaway flies down the descent as the peloton crests the top of Col d’Aspin. They’ve held the time gap at around 3’20” over the course of the category 1 mountain and seen well placed to catch up on the Tourmalet.

Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert take to the front on the downhill.

14:14 , Mike Jones

76.8 km to go: Here we go then. Inside the final 500m for the climb up Col d’Aspin. Wout van Aert still has the lead across the 6% gradient.

Neilson Powless is on his wheel and bursts into the lead with 100m to go. He crosses the line and takes the maximum points in the KOM battle.

It’s been a good day for him and he’s back in the lead for the polka dot jersey.

14:07 , Mike Jones

79km to go: Jumbo-Visma are making a move. As they take to the front of the peloton, Wout van Aert, their man in the breakaway, blitzes to the head of the whole field too.

Van Aert steps on the pedal and takes charge with 2.2km to go until the top of the Col d’Aspin.

14:03 , Mike Jones

80km to go: Bora-Hansgrohe continue to control the peloton from the front and are holding the time gap to the breakaway at around 3’23”.

The peloton is stuck into the climb up Col d’Aspin now with the leading group having a touch over 3km left to the summit.

13:59 , Mike Jones

81.5 km to go: Benoît Cosnefroy can’t keep up with the pace of the breakaway as the group flies up the hill. Further back Fabio Jakobsen is dropped by the peloton and escorted by a few team-mates.

The European champion heavily crashed during the sprint on stage 4 and needs some help to get back into the main pack.

13:55 , Mike Jones

82 km to go: The second half of the Col d’Aspin reaches gradients of around 9% which is gruelling on the legs. Even more so with the knowledge that the harder, longer and steeper Col du Tourmalet is still to come.

13:50 , Mike Jones

85km to go: The kilometres are no longer flying by as the Col d’Aspin takes its toll on the leaders. They’re through four kilometres already.

It’s the 76th time for the peloton of the Tour de France to climb to Col d’Aspin.

Octave Lapize was first to crest in first position in 1910 and the lhe last person was Thibaut Pinot last year. The Frenchman is in the peloton right now but the second last “winner” of Col d’Aspin (in 2018) was his compatriot Julian Alaphilippe, who’s part of the breakaway.

13:48 , Mike Jones

13:44 , Mike Jones

87km to go: The Col d’Aspin is a category 1 mountain with a 12km climb at an average gradient of 6.5%. The final six-four kilometres are by far the worst part of this one for the riders.

The front of the breakaway hits the base of the climb with a lead of three minutes 22 seconds over the peloton. If the stage winner is to come from the breakaway today they need to increase that time gap by the end of this mountain.

13:41 , Mike Jones

89 km to go: Here’s the tntermediate sprint result in full:

1. Bryan Coquard, 20 pts

2. Wout van Aert, 17 pts

3. Mathieu van der Poel, 15 pts

4. Jonas Gregaard, 13 pts

5. Anthony Perez, 11 pts

6. Oliver Naesen, 10 pts

7. Matteo Trentin, 9 pts

8. Neilson Powless, 8 pts

9. Nikias Arndt, 7 pts

10. Michal Kwiatkowski, 6 pts

11. Matîs Louvel, 5 pts

12. James Shaw, 4 pts

13. Gorka Izagirre, 3 pts

14. Chris Juul Jensen, 2 pts

15. Krists Neilands, 1 pt

13:37 , Mike Jones

92km to go: Bryan Coquard takes the maximum 20 points in the sprint classification (green jersey) for Cofidis. With two big mountains to come in the stage that’s his work for the day done and dusted.

He won’t be in contention to win the stage so don’t be surprised if he drops back to the peloton at some stage.

13:33 , Mike Jones

96km to go: Those in the breakaway are positioning themselves ahead of the intermediate sprint. Wou van Aert is never the front but has previously said he isn’t interested in the green jersey.

Bryan Coquard is let through by Van Aert who takes to his back wheel and follows him over the line. Coquard takes the points for the sprint.

13:28 , Mike Jones

100km to go: Bora-Hansgrohe have upped the tempo at the front of the peloton and are holding the gap between them and the breakaway at three minutes.

That will be cut sharply once the leading riders reach the next mountain climb.

⏱️The gap between the breakaway and the peloton is just over 3 minutes, with 106 km remaining. ⏱️L'écart entre l'échappée et le peloton est d'un peu plus de 3 minutes, à 106 km de l'arrivée. #TDF2023 pic.twitter.com/SCuAMbr7QT — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 6, 2023

13:24 , Mike Jones

104km to go: A radio message from team TotalEnergies is very revealing. They are not happy. None of their riders went with the breakaway and the team officials are not impressed.

13:17 , Mike Jones

106km to go: The time gap between the breakaway and the pelation atop Cote de Capvern-les-Bains is three minutes 15 seconds. Which is a decent lead but nothing too worrisome for the GC riders in the main pack.

The next challege is the intermediate sprint at Sarrancolin.

13:13 , Mike Jones

111km to go: Today is the second time team Bora-Hansgrohe have the yellow jersey.

In 2018, Peter Sagan took it after winning stage 2 in La Roche-sur-Yon and wore it during the team time trial in Cholet. It was also the tenth Tour de France stage win for Bora-Hansgrohe yesterday.

The German team is taking part in the Tour de France for the tenth consecutive time.

Now they have all kind of individual stage victories: in bunch sprints, flat and uphill, with Peter Sagan (5), ITT with Maciej Bodnar in Marseille in 2017, from breakaways in medium difficulty stages with Lennard Kämna, Nils Politt and Patrick Konrad, and a mountain stage with Jai Hindley.

13:08 , Mike Jones

115 km to go: There’s 250 metres left until the top of the Cote de Capvern-les-Bains, Neilson Powless takes the the front as they reach the peak and he claims a couple of points in the King of the Mountains battle.

Kasper Asgreen takes one point.

13:00 , Mike Jones

118 km to go: The Cote de Capvern-les-Bains is the first of today’s climbs. It’s a 5.6km uphill category 3 with a gradient of 4.8%. Not the most difficult of the mountains today and one that the breakaway should handle without too much trouble.

12:58 , Mike Jones

120km to go: Five riders, Neilson Powless (EF-Education EasyPost), Kasper Asgreen (Soudal-Quick Step), Oliver Naesen (AG2R-Citröen), Anthony Perez (Cofidis) and Ruben Guerreiro (Movistar) have closed the gapt to the breakaway which now sits at 20 riders.

Meanwhile in the peloton Bora-Hansgrohe are at the front setting the pace. Yellow jersey holder Jai Hindley rides for this team.

12:50 , Mike Jones

125km to go: Most of the general classification riders, including Jonas Vingegaard, haven’t left the pelaton but they’ll still be favourites for the stage win.

The first of the climbs today arrives in 10km.

12:47 , Mike Jones

12:44 , Mike Jones

130km to go: The breakaway is now over two minutes ahead of the pelaton with a second group of chasers just 47 seconds behind the leaders.

Here’s the list of riders out front: Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), Matteo Trentin (UAE Team Emirates), Michal Kwiatkowski (Ineos Grenadiers), James Shaw (EF Education-EasyPost), Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal-Quick Step), Nikias Arndt (Bahrain Victorious), Benoît Cosnefroy (Ag2r-Citröen), Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck), Bryan Coquard (Cofidis), Gorka Izagirre (Movistar), Krists Neilands (Israel-PremierTech), Chris Juul-Jensen (Jayco-AlUla), Matîs Louvel (Arkéa-Samsic), Tobias Halland Johannessen and Jonas Gregaard (Uno-X).

12:38 , Mike Jones

135km to go: UAE Team Emirates have managed to grab a place in that leading group with Matteo Trentin joining them when the gap was cut to eight seconds.

Also up there are among them are Mathieu van de Poel and Christopher Juul-Jensen.

12:36 , Mike Jones

Have a watch of Wout van Aert’s blazing start. He was the main leader in getting the breakaway clear at the depart reel:

💥 The stage is underway, and 🇧🇪 @WoutvanAert and 🇫🇷 @alafpolak1 are on the attack! 💥 L'étape est lancée, 🇧🇪 @WoutvanAert et 🇫🇷 @alafpolak1 se ruent à l'attaque ! #TDF2023 pic.twitter.com/mqVOOI9cwQ — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 6, 2023

12:35 , Mike Jones

137km to go: The pace of the pelaton starts to increase and the gap between them and the breakaway cuts to eight seconds.

Alaphilippe moves to the front of the field and puts the pedal down in an effort to get the breakaway even clearer. His efforts pay off as they hit a slight decline and the gap starts opening up once again.

12:31 , Mike Jones

141 km to go: There are quite a few riders in the breakaway with Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal-Quick Step) among them. I can count nine of them in the leading pack with a line of three to four stragglers behind them.

The pelaton is already 14 seconds behind and that gap is increasing.

Depart reel

12:28 , Mike Jones

And they’re off!

Wout van Aert flies straight to the front of the field and leads a breakaway of about 10 or so riders. The Jumbo-Visma is an explosive rider and he’ll be close to the front for most of this early part of the day.

12:26 , Mike Jones

The crowds were out in Tarbes to watch the pelaton depart the city for the start of stage six. This will be an exciting day’s riding with more than a few tactics in play as they cross the mountains.

Tadej Pogacar on his Tour so far

12:22 , Mike Jones

The two-time Tour de France winner, Tadej Pogacar spoke to Eurosport about how his 2023 Tour has been developing so far. Asked where things have gone awry so far, he replied:

“Maybe small details – a little bit of everything. The shape is here but I think the next days I can be even better.

“Jonas [Vingegaard] was super strong yesterday. I think he would have made a gap anyway. We’ll see the next days if I can respond. I’m good.”

Jai Hindley leads the Tour

12:19 , Mike Jones

Jai Hindley is a Tour de France debutant and will wear the yellow jersey for the first time after his solo win at Laruns yesterday. He has an advantage of 47 seconds over defending champion Jonas Vingeagaard and 1’03’’ over Giulio Ciccone.

Former race leader Adam Yates is 1’34’’ down in fifth with double overall winner Tadej Pogacar 1’40’’ behind in sixth place.

12:14 , Mike Jones

The riders have set off towards the depart reel with an easy and casual ride through Tarbes. They’re 7km away from where the route officially begins and should take about 10 minutes or so to get there.

12:12 , Mike Jones

Tarbes hosts a start for the 13th time.

The last time was for stage 14 of 2019 tour. At the finish atop the Tourmalet, Thibaut Pinot won from Julian Alaphilippe and Steven Kruijswijk.

That was also the last win to date at the Tour for Pinot.

Weather outlook

12:09 , Mike Jones

At around 25 degrees celsius, it’s hot in Tarbes where the pelaton sets off for the day’s ride. Things should get cooler as the progress through the 145km route and there is a chance of rain later in the afternoon.

A risk of thunderstorms is a real possibility by the time they reach the Tourmalet.

General classification after stage five

How Mark Cavendish became a Tour de France legend – according to his fierce rivals and loyal teammates

12:03 , Mike Jones

Mark Cavendish once gave me the look .

It was an interview in a hotel lobby in Yorkshire; he was slightly late and apologised profusely, then answered questions about the Tour de France with enthusiasm and detail.

For some reason, I thought 10 minutes of flowing conversation made me his trusted confidant, so I looked him in the eyes and asked: how much do you want to break Eddy Merckx’s Tour stage record? He shrugged it off. But what would it mean to you? He went quiet. Wouldn’t it crown your legacy?

The look was somewhere in the venn diagram of anger and disdain, and I half expected him to walk off. He stayed, but in that brief moment I felt the gentlest prod of his famous spikiness. Cavendish was once asked what he’d learned from a difficult day on the bike. “That journalists sometimes ask some stupid f***ing questions,” he replied.

How Mark Cavendish became a Tour de France legend – according to rivals and teammates

Cavendish ready for stage six

11:56 , Mike Jones

Mark Cavendish is looking forward to today’s stage but knows this isn’t one for him to excel. Cavendish is famously a sprinter and positions himself near the front when a stage sets up for a tight, racing finish.

Today’s route is the opposite. It’s all about mountains, climbing and timing your moves perfectly. Not ideal for the sprinters in the pelaton.

Jai Hindley wins Tour de France stage five to take yellow jersey

11:49 , Mike Jones

Jai Hindley won stage five of the Tour de France in Laruns to take the yellow jersey from Adam Yates and Jonas Vingegaard rode clear of rival Tadej Pogacar as an early trip to the Pyrenees ripped up the general classification.

Hindley, winner of last year’s Giro d’Italia, marked himself out as a major contender with a breakaway victory but surely more important was the sight of defending champion Vingegaard leaving behind two-time winner Pogacar on the final climb to make his case as the favourite to be in yellow come Paris.

Having gone clear from the last of his fellow escapees on the final climb of the Col de Marie Blanque, Hindley soloed into Laruns to take the win by 32 seconds, with Vingegaard coming home at the back of a four-strong group that was second on the road.

Stage 6 map and profile

11:44 , Mike Jones

A breakdown of today’s 145km route:

First comes a small category three climb before an intermediate sprint, which may well be contested by the riders interested in the green jersey - Jasper Philipsen is in a strong position in the points classification after winning back-to-back sprints.

Then comes the Col d’Aspin (12% at 6.5%) which so often precedes the Tourmalet (17.1km at 7.3%), the Tour’s most visited climb which will take the peloton over 2,000m high.

A long, fast descent follows before the climb to Cauterets (16km at 5.4%), a long drag that will be draining on the legs after such a tough first week.

Stage six start time and prediction

11:40 , Mike Jones

The stage is set to begin at around 12.20pm BST and is expected to finish at around 4.20pm.

Prediction: Jonas Vingegaard should put down the hammer on the climb to Cauterets and take the stage win.

Jersey standings ahead of stage six

11:37 , Mike Jones

There has been plenty of changes in the jersey standings following the conclusion of stage five with both the yellow and polka-dot jersey changing hands.

Here’s who will wear the jersey this afternoon:

Yellow: Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe)

White: Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates)

Green: Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck)

Polka Dot: Felix Gall (Ag2r-Citroën)

Tour de France 2023 stage 6 preview: Route map and profile of 145km from Tarbes to Cauterets via the Tourmalet

11:32 , Mike Jones

The 2023 Tour de France ignited on Tuesday’s stage five as Australia’s Jai Hindley stormed into the yellow jersey and reigning champion Jonas Vingegaard dominated his main rival Tadej Pogacar . Hindley escaped in the breakaway and both Vingegaard’s Jumbo-Visma and Pogacar’s UAE Team Emirates took too long to close the gap, allowing the Bora-Hansgrohe rider to push on alone and claim a brilliant solo win.

With it, Hindley jumped to the top of the general classification and took the yellow jersey from Adam Yates, who caught up to the struggling two-time champion and UAE team leader Pogacar, and they finished together more than a minute and a half behind Hindley and a minute down on the ominously strong Vingegaard.

Stage six goes deeper into the high Pyrenees, and the peloton will climb the iconic Col du Tourmalet en route to the first summit finish of the Tour in Cauterets.

Tadej Pogacar strikes back on Stage 6 as Jonas Vingegaard sneaks into yellow at Tour de France

Felix Lowe

Updated 07/07/2023 at 08:25 GMT

The 2023 Tour de France is already shaping up to be a classic. Tadej Pogacar dismissed concerns he was already finished in the race for yellow with a superb victory on Stage 6, putting time into the new yellow jersey of Jonas Vingegaard. Jai Hindley's first outing in the leader's jersey could well be his last after he cracked on the Col du Tourmalet as the two big hitters went head-to-head uphill.

Tour de France Stage 6 Preview: The Col du Tourmalet Awaits

A second day in the Pyrenees for the peloton after Jonas Vingegaard blew up the race during Stage 5. Can Pogačar respond?

110th tour de france 2023 stage 5

Stage 6 - Tarbes to Cauterets-Cambasque (144.9km) - Thursday, July 6

The stage begins in Tarbes, which hosts the Tour for the fifteenth time. If Stage 5 is any indicator, there will be an intense race to join the breakaway with stage hunters, polka dot jersey hopefuls, and perhaps a few domestiques from the GC contenders’ teams all hoping to get up the road and gain as big of an advantage as possible. And they’ll need it with a heavy dose of Pyrenean summits crammed into the second two-thirds of the stage.

The climbing starts quickly, with the Category 3 Côte de Capvern-les-Bains, followed about 20km later by the intermediate sprint in Sarrancolin. The riders should cover these in the first hour, before settling in for the three ascents that define the stage: the Category 1 Col d’Aspin, the Hors Categorie Col du Tourmalet, and the Category 1 climb to the finish in Cauterets.

stage 6 profile tour de france 2023

Of these, the Tourmalet is the most challenging. Starting about 80km into the stage, the riders will climb it from the east, which means they face 17.1km of climbing with an average gradient of 7.3%. The second half of the ascent is the toughest, with several kilometers of pitches hovering between 9 and 10%. As a bit of added incentive, the Souvenir Jacques Goddet prize will be awarded to the first rider over the Tourmalet’s 2,115m summit, which sits 47km from the end of the stage.

A long descent takes the racers from the top of the Tourmalet back down to the valley floor, where they’ll have a few minutes to catch their breath, grab bottle, and scarf down a gel or two before the day’s final obstacle: the 16km Category 1 climb to Cauterets-Cambasque.

This is the only second time that a Tour stage has finished beyond the village of Cauterets, taking the riders another 10km up to the Plateau du Cambasque. This turns the traditional “uphill finish” in Cauterets into a true Category 1 climb. The climb’s average gradient is just 5.4%, but with pitches near the top approaching an 11% gradient, it’s going to do some damage.

Australia’s Jai Hindley (BORA-hansgrohe) enters the day in the yellow jersey after winning Stage 5. The 27-year-old and his team will immediately be put to the test, as Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) wants to put more time into Slovenia’s Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), who cracked on the Col du Marie Blanque at the end of Stage 5 and lost over a minute to his Danish rival. How well Hindley handles the attacks from Vingegaard and his team will go a long way toward determining whether or not he’s a true podium contender. (Hint: We think he is.) And as we saw last year, Pogačar won’t go down without a fight. If he feels he’s recovered from Stage 5, he’ll launch an assault of his own.

Riders to watch

After an intense day of racing on Stage 5, the Tour’s GC contenders might be happy to let another breakaway head up the road–albeit with fewer GC threats. Look for four teams to try and jam at least one but probably two riders in the move to maximize their chances of taking the stage: INEOS-Grenadiers, Lidl-Trek, Israel-PremierTech, and EF Education-EasyPost. These teams each have several talented climbers who are far enough down the Tour’s General Classification that they’ll be allowed to go hunt for a stage win.

When to Watch

We’ll start watching at about 9:30 a.m. EDT, as the riders hit the base of the Tourmalet. But it’s work week, and you might have other plans. In that case, tune-in around 10:35 a.m. EDT to see the action on the final climb to the finish above Cauterets.

Since getting hooked on pro cycling while watching Lance Armstrong win the 1993 U.S. Pro Championship in Philadelphia, longtime Bicycling contributor Whit Yost has raced on Belgian cobbles, helped build a European pro team, and piloted that team from Malaysia to Mont Ventoux as an assistant director sportif. These days, he lives with his wife and son in Pennsylvania, spending his days serving as an assistant middle school principal and his nights playing Dungeons & Dragons.

Stage 6 — Thursday, July 4 Mâcon to Dijon Distance: 163.5km (102 miles) Profile: Flat stage

Stage 6: Flat stage suits green jersey contenders

The sprinters will be smiling again with a second consecutive day suited to a big bunch finish. The stage from Mâcon to Dijon is almost completely flat, with the sole categorized climb just 1.8km in length and at a gentle 5.7 percent gradient.

This comes 10 kilometers after the start and looks like the likely launching site for a long-distance breakaway which will try to hold off the sprinters’ teams to the line.

The view of Tour de France race director Christian Prudhomme: “Fans of medieval architecture will be treated to aerial images of Cluny Abbey and much more. The breakaway will set off with the ambition of holding off the peloton’s pursuit though the vineyards of the Côte Chalonnaise, but the sprinters should have the last word on the 800-meter straight into the prefecture of the Côte-d’Or.”

Tour de France stage 6 result LIVE: Tadej Pogacar wins in Longwy and grabs hold of yellow jersey

  • Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Stage six of the Tour de France is the longest of the entire Tour and offers up opportunities for a breakaway and anyone with the legs for a hilly finish at the end of a hard 220km route.

The peloton begins in Binche, Belgium and travels south-east along the border with France before finishing in Longwy. The general classification contenders are unlikely to get into a scrap on such a day, given the Tour’s first summit finish arrives on Friday where there could be fireworks. That means a breakaway of riders outside the GC mix could be allowed to run free and make a move stick all the way to the finish.

Wout van Aert begins the day in the yellow jersey, despite crashing on stage 5 and then waiting up to help his team leader Jonas Vingegaard who had suffered a puncture. Fabio Jakobsen continues in green only because the points leader Van Aert is already wearing yellow, reigning champion Tadej Pogacar stays in the best young rider’s white jersey, while Magnus Cort still holds the polka dots of the King of the Mountains.

Follow all the latest updates from stage 6 of the 2022 Tour de France below:

15:48 , Michael Jones

Who’s going to take the yellow jersey will it Neilson Powless or will it be Pogacar?

The bonus seconds he’s earned by finishing first may be enough for the reigning champion to swap out white for yellow tomorrow.

15:47 , Michael Jones

15:45 , Michael Jones

What a finish!

Primoz Roglic went for it from around 200m out but Tadej Pogacar catches him and blasts away from the Jumbo-Visma man in a sprint to the line to claim victory in stage 6.

15:44 , Michael Jones

500m to go now. Primoz Roglic, with his shoulder problems, is up there. Dylan Teuns is also in contention. Don’t rule out Tadej Pogacar either.

15:42 , Michael Jones

The rise to the finish line is on!

Alexis Vuillermoz of TotalEnergie has the lead with just over a kilometre and a half to go. Pogacar, Pidcock, Thomas and others are just waiting behind him.

They’re trying to time their sprints to the line.

15:37 , Michael Jones

At the steepest part of the climb up Cote de Pulventeux Alexis Vuillermoz makes his move to strike out ahead of the pack. Tadej Pogacar leads the next attack too.

The Ineos team, including Geraint Thomas, have to respond.

Less than 5km to go.

15:34 , Michael Jones

Tadej Pogacar is now sitting pretty close to the front of the peloton. He’s got to be the favourite to take the yellow jersey and potentially the stage after a few of the sprinters have fallen away.

Aleksandr Vlasov crashes on the curve with Pogacar one of the riders just behind him but the Slovenian manages to avoid the pile up.

15:31 , Michael Jones

There was a crash in the middle of the peloton just before they caught Wout van Aert. Janse van Rensburg, Madouas, and Kuss all involved causing a slight split in the peloton.

In the descent, 🇿🇦 @ReinvanRensburg and 🇧🇪 @KobeGoossens are involved in a fall! En pleine descente, 🇿🇦 @ReinvanRensburg et 🇧🇪 @KobeGoossens sont victimes d'une lourde chute ! #TDF2022 pic.twitter.com/o8BmLFTvJx — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 7, 2022

15:30 , Michael Jones

Mathieu van der Poel gets dropped from the back of the peloton with Mads Pedersen, Dylan Groenewegen, and Caleb Ewan also falling away.

Wout van Aert gets reeled in by the pack and is out of gas, his fine ride comes to an end and he lets the bunch pass him by. There’ll be a new yellow jersey leader at the end of the day.

15:25 , Michael Jones

The peloton can now see Van Aert just ahead of them. He reaches the peak of the climb and collects another KOM point.

Inside the final 15km now as Van Aert glides down the descent to preserve some energy.

15:22 , Michael Jones

Wout van Aert hits the base of Cote de Motigny-Sur-Chiers. It’s a 1.6km climb with a 4.4% slope.

15:19 , Michael Jones

A trio of Brits in Tom Pidcock, Geraint Thomas and Adam Yates are prominent for the Ineos Grenadiers team, as Filippo Ganna, their foremost man in the peloton for the last few kilometres drops away having done his stint as leader.

With 18km to go the average pace of today’s race has finally dipped under 50km/h.

It’s now 49.9km/h.

15:17 , Michael Jones

20km to go.

Wout van Aert is 46 seconds ahead of the peloton. It’s only going to be a matter or time before he’s reigned in but it’s been a fantastic ride from the 27-year-old.

15:13 , Michael Jones

On Stage 4, Wout van Aert took advantage of the final climb with the help of his Jumbo-Visma teammates before sprinting home from 10km out to win the stage.

It was a remarkable performance from the Belgian but if he can pull off a victory today this one will eclipse it.

The gap is one minute, two seconds with the next climb about 8km away.

15:10 , Michael Jones

This is it then. 27km to go and Wout van Aert has jettisoned Quinn Simmons who is quickly scooped back into the peloton.

It’s now Van Aert versus the rest.

He’s extended his lead to one minute, 10 seconds.

15:08 , Michael Jones

The peloton flies by the Meuse river as they continue to chip away at time gap which stands just over a minute.

Van Aert will surely bomb away on his own at some stage. He’s committed to seeing it through to the end now.

Nils Politt, the German rider for Bora–Hansgrohe, has put a huge shift in at the front of the chasing pack and drops back. It’s not been an easy day for the domestiques, pulling them along like an engine.

15:01 , Michael Jones

Quinn Simmons looks like he’s feeling the pace of the breakaway now, there are a few heavy breaths coming from the American. Wout van Aert meanwhile looks fine. The Belgian really is a machine.

The gap is now just over a minute, the peloton will catch these two just before the roller coaster, hilly finish to stage 6.

14:57 , Michael Jones

Despite the desire from Simmons and Van Aert to keep themselves in the breakaway their lead has once again been cut to one minute, 37 seconds.

37km to go. UAE Team Emirates are taking control of the peloton.

14:48 , Michael Jones

47km left to go today and the peloton is nicely positioned in the race.

They’re holding firmly about two minutes behind the breakaway pair but that isn’t the most difficult time to chase if the teams decide to reel them in.

Van Aert and Simmons are flying at just a tick over 50km/h.

14:37 , Michael Jones

14:30 , Michael Jones

Less than 60 km to go in Stage 6. It’s a fairly flat run until the final 15km or so where the final two category climbs are.

Van Aert and Simmons have just upped the tempo a touch. They’re trying to extend their lead. It’s up to one minute, 55 seconds.

🇩🇰 @jakob_fuglsang lets up! Now only 2 remain in the lead! 🇩🇰 @jakob_fuglsang se relève ! Ils ne sont désormais plus que 2 en tête ! #TDF2022 pic.twitter.com/aRrxyaEZr2 — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 7, 2022

14:25 , Michael Jones

Jakob Fuglsang stopped for a comfort break before dropping back into the peloton. The breakaway is now only Wout van Aert and Quinn Simmons.

The gap is one minute, 42 seconds and falling. It won’t be too long before they are reeled in as well.

14:23 , Michael Jones

Here are the full results of intermediate sprint at Carignan:

1. Wout van Aert, 20 pts

2. Jakob Fuglsang, 17 pts

3. Quinn Simmons, 15 pts

4. Jasper Philipsen, 13 pts

5. Fabio Jakobsen, 11 pts

6. Christophe Laporte, 10 pts

7. Michael Morkov, 9 pts

8. Adrien Petit, 8 pts

9. Nils Politt, 7 pts

10. Jonas Rutsch, 6 pts

11. Vegard Stake Laengen, 5 pts

12. Guillaume Van Keirsbulck, 4 pts

13. Andrea Pasqualon, 3 pts

14. Mikkel Bjerg, 2 pts

15. Brandon McNulty, 1 pt

14:19 , Michael Jones

67km to go in the day. Two more category climbs and a potential sprint finish if the peloton can reel in the breakaway.

Their gap it only two minutes now.

14:13 , Michael Jones

Wout Van Aert wins the sprint with a nod of thanks to Jakob Fuglsang and Quinn Simmons who don’t bother to challenge him. He adds 20 points to the green jersey classification.

A couple of minutes behind Fabio Jakobsen and Jasper Philipsen both compete to clean up the rest of the points on offer with Philipsen nicking fourth place right on the line.

14:10 , Michael Jones

Wout van Aert and his two companions in the breakaway are taking on the fluids they got hold of in the feed zone.

There’s a bit of chat between them, whether that’s about the amount of time they need to lead by or if they’re coming to an agreement over the intermediate sprint.

Van Aert leads the way. The trio are two minutes 45 seconds in front.

14:01 , Michael Jones

137km into Stage 6 and the average pace is still up at 50km/h.

10km to go for the leading trio until the intermediate sprint.

13:56 , Michael Jones

The teams in the peloton won’t let Wout Van Aert, Quinn Simmons, and Jakob Fuglsang get that far ahead. There’s 85km left to go in Stage 6 and the chase is on.

The big teams are taking turns leading the chase with the gap between them and the breakaway already under three minutes.

13:51 , Michael Jones

A very decent effort from the eight or nine stragglers who were dropped by the peloton during that speedy opening 85km. They were around five minutes behind at one stage but have just rejoined the main group after a tough recovery ride.

13:46 , Michael Jones

Luxemburg’s Alex Kirsch (Trek-Segafredo) has called it a day. He was stuck all alone at the back and pulls out of the race.

Meanwhile, Van Aert, Simmons and Fuglsang have 3’45’’ lead with 100km to go.

13:37 , Michael Jones

Quinn Simmons spoke to reporters this morning who asked him what he hopes to achieve this year and what successes would constitute a good tour for the American. He replied:

“A good Tour… I mean just to be here already is a goal achieved, so now obviously you want to make it to Paris, but for me I hope to hunt for a stage.

“There’s a few objectives that I picked out at the start, but you never know. At the end of the day, if you go for the break, the peloton decides if you make it, so all we can do is fight to be there.

“I guess we’ll see in a few hours!”

13:33 , Michael Jones

Wout van Aert has been the man of the first 100km, ably helped by young American Quinn Simmons who may fancy his chances for a stage win today.

Van Aert is also on a new bike now, having changed at 111km to go, just after the halfway stage.

13:22 , Michael Jones

⏱The leading trio now have a lead of 3'44" with 121km to go ⏱ À 121 km de l'arrivée, l'échappée creuse l'écart avec le peloton ! Les hommes de tête ont maintenant 3'44" d'avance. #TDF2022 pic.twitter.com/nCPHfV6yvT — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 7, 2022

13:18 , Michael Jones

A group of eight riders including George Bennett, Gianni Moscon and Mathieu Burgeaudeau fell away from the peloton a few kilometres back but is slowly gaining on the bunch after they slowed down.

Up ahead Alpecin now leads the peloton with Guillaume Van Keirsbulck setting the pace.

13:12 , Michael Jones

The next part of the stage is the intermediate sprint at Carignan with 75km to go.

The leading trio are three minutes, 28 seconds in front with 123km of Stage 6 left. There’s a bit of a lull as the peloton calms down although there are a few moves happening as the teams position themselves near the front.

It took 80-85km for the breakaway to develop properly and the teams will be a little nervous of another attacking happening quite soon.

13:08 , Michael Jones

13:01 , Michael Jones

Quinn Simmons takes the point! He crosses the Cote des Mazures finish line first and gets his King of the Mountains campaign underway, drawing level with Wout van Aert in second place.

The peloton have started to take a breather. They’re letting the breakaway go, the leaders are two minutes 23 seconds ahead now.

12:57 , Michael Jones

The Cote des Mazures is a category-three climb of 2km with a gradient of 7.6%.

Wout van Aert has managed to recover and catch up to Simmons and Fuglsang. This trio are now 90 seconds out in front and have around 700m of the climb to go.

12:55 , Michael Jones

Wout Van Aert, Quinn Simmons, and Jakob Fuglsang have opened up a lead of over a minute now as the pace of this race starts to hit the rest of the peloton.

135km to go, three kms until Cote des Mazures.

Van Aert gets a mechanical failure just as the leaders hit the base of the climb!

12:52 , Michael Jones

As the breakaway hits 30 seconds French champion Florian Sénéchal forms a counter-attack from the peloton and sets off after them.

There’s just 6km to go until the first category-four climb and the next part of Stage 6. Who’ll be out in front when they hit it?

12:49 , Michael Jones

Wout Van Aert, Quinn Simmons, and Jakob Fuglsang have set off on a breakaway. This could be an interesting one if the yellow jersey holder fancies himself to open up a big lead.

They’re 22 seconds in front of the peloton.

There’s also a group featuring George Bennett that has been dropped by the peloton and are over three minutes behind. That’s a problem for them.

12:38 , Michael Jones

The riders have already notched up 70km in an hour and 20 minutes. There’s only 150km left in the stage as the riders leave Belgium and cross into France.

How long this pace can keep going in anyone’s guess. It’s hard work for the cyclists and they haven’t even reached the climbs in this stage.

🔚 End of the breakaway, with almost 70 km already ridden. 🔚 Fin de l'échappée alors que près de 70 km ont déjà été parcourus. #TDF2022 pic.twitter.com/zHfnQ8HXOQ — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 7, 2022

12:33 , Michael Jones

The peloton reels in the 10 riders in the breakaway and Philippe Gilbert makes his way to the front of the pack.

Gilbert is the veteran of the Tour at 40 years and 2 days old. He won the 2016 Belgian championship for road racing, beating in a two-man sprint Tim Wellens who is his team-mate at Lotto-Soudal for this Tour de France.

12:29 , Michael Jones

160km to go. A response from the peloton sees the time between them and the breakaway down to just 13 seconds. This leading pack want to get further in front but the pace of the race is mindboggling.

Stage 5 winner Simon Clarke has been dropped by the peloton. Several other riders can’t keep up with the high pace including Mathieu van der Poel.

12:22 , Michael Jones

The leading riders have covered 52.5km in the first hour!

Absolutely insane pace. In comparison the other long stages of this year’s Tour have seen breakaway riders setting a pace of around 40-43km/h.

They’re almost 10km/h quicker today and the terrain hasn’t been the easiest with lots of undulations.

There are 10 riders in the leading pack: Vegard Stake Laengen, Christophe Laporte, Stan De Wulf, Kasper Asgreen, Simon Geschke, Andreas Leknessund, Georg Zimmermann, Magnus Cort, Conor Swift, and Mads Pedersen.

163km to go.

12:14 , Michael Jones

Here we go again.

Just like every other day of the Tour de France so far Magnus Cort Nielsen leads a breakaway attempt and there are some decent riders following him. Stan De Wulf, Mads Pedersen, Georg Zimmermann, Andreas Leknessund and Connor Swift are all involved.

They’re slowly increasing the gap on the peloton. It’s up to 15 seconds.

12:09 , Michael Jones

12:03 , Michael Jones

A leading group from the peloton featuring Wout van Aert and Tadej Pogacar catches the breakaway three and reels them back in.

Who’s at the front now?

It’s Wout van Aert of course with 179km to go.

11:58 , Michael Jones

Filippo Ganna speeds up at the head of the peloton and reels in the two breakaway pursuers Tim Wellens and Amund Grøndahl Jansen.

Under Ganna’s power the peloton cuts the gap to 45 seconds behind the leading trio after 34km.

Wout van Aert now takes over. He’s back out at the front of the peloton and increasing the pace.

11:51 , Michael Jones

Wellens’ pursuit of the breakaway has slackened and he’s dropped back alongside Grøndahl Jansen. If they help each other out they will be better suited to join the breakaway but they’re currently 49 seconds behind.

Back in the peloton, Wout van Aert continues to launch attacks from the front, looking for the ideal moment to leave the bunch behind.

188km left.

11:47 , Michael Jones

Amund Grøndahl Jansen of BikeExchange–Jayco has set off ahead of the peloton but is a long way behind the breakaway group. He’s going to have a tough time of things to catch them which seems to be his plan.

193km to go. The breakaway has a lead of over a minute now. Tim Wellens is just under 500m behind them and gaining, he could join the leaders fairly soon if he can keep up the pace.

11:43 , Michael Jones

A few attacks have been led by Wout van Aert this morning but the trio of Benoit Cosnefroy, Taco van der Hoorn and Toms Skujins have managed to increases their gap.

Tim Wellens is chasing them down, he’s trying to catch the leaders who are 30 seconds ahead of the peloton.

💛 After a day at the back, 🇧🇪 @WoutvanAert would enjoy a day at the front! 💛 Après une journée à l'arrière, 🇧🇪 @WoutvanAert voudrait bien vivre une journée à l'avant ! #TDF2022 pic.twitter.com/oU5A835tmK — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 7, 2022

11:39 , Michael Jones

Just behind the leading trio is Kevin Vermaerke who’s attempting to bridge the gap which is now under 10 seconds.

Peter Sagan is riding on the wheel of Wout van Aert who continues to set a ferocious pace at the front of the peloton in pursuit of the breakaway three.

200km to go.

11:35 , Michael Jones

Benoit Cosnefroy, Taco van der Hoorn and Toms Skujins have opened up a 12 second gap on the rest of the peloton but there’s a response from Wout van Aert to catch them.

The yellow jersey leader seems determined to get himself into this breakaway.

11:31 , Michael Jones

The leading riders are flying. They’re travelling at 61mph and a little split is opening up between them and the peloton. Wout van Aert was leading the charge at one point but he’s fallen back.

Tadej Pogacar is also hovering at the back of the attempted breakaway which is starting to slow down.

They didn’t manage to get away from the peloton. 205km to go.

11:26 , Michael Jones

Wout van Aert has moved himself up to third place as the peloton reigns in the riders attempting to breakaway.

There are a lot of teams trying to get themselves out in front but the peloton isn’t going to let them.

9km down already, Mathieu van der Poel and Guillaume Martin are getting dropped from the bunch.

11:22 , Michael Jones

Mathieu Burgaudeau of TotalEnergies has crashed at the 3km and hits the deck quite heavily. He’s okay though and is quickly back on the bike.

There’s another attempt to breakaway at the front as four riders squeeze ahead of the front of the peloton. They haven’t been able to open up a proper gap yet but the desire is there.

Burgaudeau is already 18 seconds behind the rest after a brief stop at the medical car for some bandages.

11:19 , Michael Jones

After a 5km warm-up ride to the start proper, Stage 6 gets underway.

A blistering start was expected at the départ réel and it doesn’t disappoint. There’s a number of teams trying to get themselves into the breakaway.

Pierre Rolland is up there but Alexis Vuillermoz sets the early pace.

2km down and no-one has been able to shake the peloton.

11:12 , Michael Jones

Wout van Aert is wearing the yellow jersey as the leader of the Tour de France. It’s his fourth consecutive day at the top after taking the jersey off Yves Lampaert on Stage 2.

Van Aert alos leads the points classification with 178 so second placed Fabio Jakobsen (126) wears the green jersey typically held by the sprinters.

In the King of the Mountains polka dot jersey is Magnus Cort Nielsen who has 11 of the 12 available classification points with Van Aert second having taken the final point of Stage 4.

Tadej Pogacar is in the white jersey as the best young rider with an advantage of 30’’ over Tom Pidcock.

11:10 , Michael Jones

After the excitement and treachery of the cobbles yesterday, today’s long stage should be a more sedate affair.

Any breakaway riders could potentially be allowed to lead all the way until the finish as the GC contenders try to safely navigate the stage.

Tour de France Stage 6: Meaning of the coloured jerseys

11:07 , Michael Jones

The 2022 Tour de France sees 176 riders compete for the famous yellow jersey or maillot jaune which rewards the overall winner of the race.

While the yellow jersey, won in 2020 and 2021 by Slovenian prodigy Tadej Pogacar , is the most famous and prestigious of them all, there are three other colours to look out for in the peloton taking on this year’s Tour de France route.

The green, polka dot, and white jerseys all have their own meanings, histories and significance for their respective holders.

If you’re new to the Tour de France, here’s a look at the different coloured jerseys and what they represent:

The meaning behind each Tour de France coloured jersey

Tadej Pogacar: The invisible champion out to win historic third Tour de France

11:02 , Michael Jones

Here’s an interview with that man Pogacar before the Tour:

In Monaco, Tadej Pogacar blends into the city. He walks invisibly through the streets and potters freely around his local supermarket. Even in his favourite bike shop, the best cyclist in the world queues among the muggles without being disturbed. “I like to go inside and see what’s new, and of course I don’t mind if there’s customers in front of me, it’s normal,” he says.

By all measures a double Tour de France champion should be one of the most recognisable athletes on the planet, a bonafide global superstar unable to walk through a hotel lobby without dark glasses and an entourage, but somehow Pogacar has not yet transcended the sport. One suspects if he was from cycling’s European heartlands or the US with a name that rolled off the tongue, his profile might be a little different. His “TP” brand with an eagle motif and a “never give up” tagline is yet to take off quite like Roger Federer or Tiger Woods.

But understated and low-key is how Pogacar approaches life and cycling, just riding for the joy of it, an ethos which has brought rich rewards so far. After winning back-to-back Tours de France, an historic third next month would set him firmly on course to becoming one of cycling’s all-time greats, and what makes it all possible is just how little he is driven by his own sporting legacy. “For me that’s not something that I would enjoy after [my career] too much and brag about it. I work hard to win a lot of races, but for me the priority is just to be a good friend to my friends and have good relations with the people I want in my life.”

Tour de France Stage 6: Route map and profile of 220km route from Binche to Longwy today

10:57 , Michael Jones

Stage five of the 2022 Tour de France was the most brutal yet as the cobblestones of northern France took plenty of prisoners, dishing out dents in the yellow jersey ambitions of several contenders including Jumbo-Visma’s Primoz Roglic , but there is little respite on stage six as the peloton faces the longest route of the race.

Stage six begins in Binche before winding south-east along the border to Longwy. The general classification contenders are unlikely to want a dust up on a stage like this one, particularly with this Tour’s first summit finish to come on Friday where the gloves will be off. That means any breakaway made up of riders outside the GC mix could be allowed to run free and make a move stick all the way to the finish.

The 2022 Tour de France begins in Copenhagen on Friday 1 July and finishes in Paris on Sunday 24 July, where Slovenian superstar Tadej Pogacar hopes to be wearing yellow and be crowned champion for the third year in a row.

Standing in his way is the sheer strength and depth of Dutch team Jumbo-Visma , who carry multiple threats including Pogacar’s national teammate Primoz Roglic and last year’s Tour runner-up, Jonas Vingegaard. Ineos Grenadiers are without their leading light Egan Bernal, the 2019 champion who is still recovering from injury, but they do have the in-form Geraint Thomas fresh from winning the Tour de Suisse, as well as potential stage winners Adam Yates and Tom Pidcock.

Here is a stage-by-stage look at this year’s route.

Tadej Pogacar takes time from Jumbo-Visma rivals on cobbles of chaotic stage 5

10:39 , Michael Jones

The 2022 Tour de France exploded to life on the bone-shuddering cobbles of northern France, and when the dust clouds finally settled on a chaotic stage five, won by Australia’s Simon Clarke, reigning champion Tadej Pogacar was the day’s great beneficiary in the fight for the yellow jersey.

Pogacar’s key rivals, the all-powerful Team Jumbo-Visma, suffered disastrous luck which dented the ambitions of 2021 runner-up Jonas Vingegaard and all but destroyed the hopes of 2020 runner-up Primoz Roglic .

There must have been terse words in the Jumbo-Visma team car as first Vingegaard suffered a puncture which left him briefly, comically riding a bike far too big as he sought to recover, before Roglic was taken out by a rogue hay bale lying in the road – it was later confirmed he suffered a dislocated shoulder which had to be popped back in. The only solace for the Belgian team was that Wout van Aert retained the yellow jersey despite selflessly slowing to help Vingegaard rejoin the chasing pack.

The general classification contenders are unlikely to want a dust up on a stage like this one, particularly with this Tour’s first summit finish to come on Friday where the gloves will be off.

That means any breakaway made up of riders outside the GC mix could be allowed to run free and make a move all the way to the finish.

The stage features four climbs and three descents which lie before the finish like hurdles. First is the category four Cote de Montigny-sur-Chiers, before an uncategorised climb, and then the much more gruelling Cote de Pulventeux which, at an average 12 per cent gradient, has enough about it to thin the crowd should someone attack here.

Once over the top and down the other side, the stage winner faces a final slow drag up the Cote des Religieuses to the line.

10:19 , Michael Jones

Hello and welcome to The Independent’s coverage of the Tour de France. Yesterday saw a lot of excitement on the cobbles as crashes, punctures and sprints all contributed to a shake up in the leaderboard.

Australia’s Simon Clarke won the stage in a sprint finish and reigning champion Tadej Pogacar managed to close the gap on Yellow Jersey holder Wout van Aert.

Jumbo-Visma contender Jonas Vinegegaard had to be helped back into the chasing pack following a puncture and teammate Primoz Roglic’s hopes are all but over after he crashed into a haybale.

Today sees Stage 6 start in Binche, Belgium, before winding south-east along the border to Longwy, France. It is 220km and is longest stage of this year’s Tour de France.

Tour de France 2023 Route stage 6: Tarbes - Cauterets

Tour de France 2023

The riders clip into their pedals in Tarbes to enter the Pyrenees. Following an opening on the flat, a warm-up climb on the Côte de Capvern-les-Bains (5.6 kilometres at 4.8%), and another flat phase, the first big climb on the route is the Col d’Aspin (12 kilometres at 6.5%). The riders then descend into the valley of the Adour River, only to go up again on the most used climb on the Tour de France. The Col du Tourmalet adds up to 17.1 kilometres, while the average gradient sits at 7,3%. After descending to Luz-Saint-Sauveur the route follows the Gave de Gavarnie upstream to Pierrefitte-Nestales. That’s where the finish climb kicks in.

The first part is not very special, it all comes down to the last 4 kilometres. That’s were a section of 2.5 kilometres at double digit gradients kicks in. The climb then evens out for a bit before the final kilometre goes up at 6.6%. The entire climb is 16 kilometres long and averaging 5.4%.

Le Tour finished twice before in the mountains above Cauterets. In 1989 it was Miguel Indurain who triumphed at Le Cambasque, in 1995 Richard Virenque took the spoils on the nearby pass Les Crêtes du Lys.

The first three riders on the line gain time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds.

Tour de France – 6. etape

tour de france etape six

Hvad sker der? Tadej Pogacar vandt 6. etape og tog 28 sekunder på Jonas Vingegaard.

Top-tre på etapen:

  • Tadej Pogacar
  • Jonas Vingegaard +24" (+4 bonussekunder)

Guerreiro straffet for sprint

Ruben Guerreiro gik efter at vinde bjergspurten på Col du Tourmalet, men i sin iver for bjergpoint var portugiseren ved at vælte norske Tobias Johannessen, der kom forbi på ydersiden.

Efterfølgende har løbet straffet Guerreiro med en bøde på 500 schweizerfranc, mens han også bliver trukket fem point i bjergkonkurrencen. Straffen begrundes med "irregulær spurt på toppen af Col du Tourmalet."

Johannessen, der fik et mindre skulderskub i momentet, har selv kommenteret på episoden:

- Jeg havde ikke nogen tanke bag det (spurten, red.), men jeg følte mig bare stærk. Så ville Guerreiro pludselig have mig i hegnet, og så ville jeg da tage den, siger Johannessen til TV 2 Norge .

Andreas Otto:

Pogacar vinder efter at hele Jumbo holdet har været på overarbejde og umiddelbart så ud til at spille deres kort helt perfekt. UAE har tilgengæld sparet deres ryttere. Tror I de kan finde på et overraskelsesangreb i morgen?

Hej Andreas

Man skal aldrig sige aldrig, men etapen i morgen er virkelig flad, så de skal være kreative på UAE-holdet :-).

// Rasmus, TV 2 Sport

Pogacar-hjælper fik nyhed under interview

UAE-rytteren Matteo Trentin vidste godt, at kaptajn Pogacar havde vundet etapen, da han efterfølgende gav interview. Men italieneren vidste ikke, at Pogacar havde taget 28 sekunder på Vingegaard – det fortalte de fremmødte journalister ham så:

- Fedt. Det er bedre, end jeg troede. Jeg forstod bare, at han havde vundet, men nu har han også taget sekunder. Det er endnu bedre, siger Trentin.

"I was in the race, that's why I didn't see it on TV!" 😂 High spirits for @MATTEOTRENTIN of @TeamEmiratesUAE as he learned of @TamauPogi 's race result and reviewed the mood over the last 24 hours 🙌🏻 _______ 🇫🇷 #TDF2023 pic.twitter.com/KHLzuTeMQw — Velon CC (@VelonCC) July 6, 2023

Vingegaards holdkammerater står med blandede følelser

- Vi forventede ikke, at han (Pogacar, red.) ville være så stærk. I går var han ikke så god, så vi troede, vi ville have en ny mulighed i dag, siger Wilco Kelderman ifølge Sporza .

- Selvfølgelig håber du, at planen lykkes, men det gjorde den ikke. Vi er stadig et godt sted. Det er stadig Pogacar, er det ikke? Vi prøvede, og det er alt, vi kan gøre, siger Dylan van Baarle – ligeledes til Wielerflits .

Også Sepp Kuss, Vingegaards stærkeste hjælper i bjergene, har sat ord på situationen.

- Vi kan være glade for vores kørsel og holdarbejde i dag.

- Selvfølgelig ville vi tage noget ekstra tid på Pogacar efter den svære dag i går, men det kan ikke altid fungere. Han er en super stærk rytter, og han giver ikke op, siger amerikaneren ifølge Sporza .

Er der nogen ryttere der er faldet for tidsgrænsen idag? Stærkt af Mørkøv at trække Jakobsen i mål :-)

Nej, alle klarede skærene i dag :-). Ja, Mørkøv spillede igen en vigtig rolle for kaptajnen.

Vingegaard tog sig tid

Selvom Vingegaard blev slået af Pogacar, var der stadig et stort smil at finde på danskerens læber efter dagens etape.

Efter interviews, presseformalia og andet tog Vingegaard, iført den gule trøje, sig tid til en selfie med et par fans.

Vingegaard viser overskud i den gule trøje:

tour de france etape six

Vingegaard viser stort overskud i den gule trøje:

Wout van aert reagerer på etapen:.

- Jonas er i gult, og vores arbejde var dét værd. Tadej viser, at man skal aldrig undervurdere ham. Selvom han tabte lidt tid (onsdag, red.), viser han, at han stadig er der, og det bliver tydeligvis en kamp mellem de to.

- Det har været nogle hårde dage. Vi gjorde nogle gode ting for klassementet, siger belgieren, der personligt håber på en let dag i morgen.

Jumbo-Vismas sportsdirektør Frans Maassen efter etapen:

- Jeg ved ikke, om jeg er overrasket, men vi havde håbet på, at det ville være den anden vej rundt. Men vi kender alle Pogacar, så på den måde kan man aldrig være overrasket, fordi han er så stærk, siger Maassen til en klynge af medier.

- I går var vi ikke euforiske, og igen i dag er han i balance. Den ene dag går det til den ene side, og næste dag er det så den anden vej rundt. Det er sådan, det er, når der er to så gode ryttere.

Vingegaard reagerer på dagens etape:

tour de france etape six

Skjelmose til TV 2 efter dagens etape:

- Det er svært at få nogle svar. Jeg havde rigtig ondt efter mit styrt i går. De svar, jeg skulle have, dem fik jeg i Schweiz Rundt, så der er ikke så meget at sige.

- Jeg har slået hele min venstre side, og så gør min ryg rigtig ondt. Troede ikke, det var så slemt. Men på Tourmalet havde jeg mere ondt i ryggen, end jeg havde i benene.

- Jeg regner med, at vi lægger planerne om. Så bliver det fuld gas for at hjælpe Mads. Så skal jeg prøve at vinde en etape i tredje uge.

- Jeg skal jo ikke kunne sige, om det kun er styrtet eller alt muligt andet. Jeg synes, det er ærgerligt, at det skal være en kombination. At styrtet skal være med til at slå det ud. Jeg vil hellere have haft, at det bare var dårlige ben eller noget andet. Men det får vi ikke svar på i den her Tour, desværre.

- Jeg får Mads’ og min egen kropsbehandler herned på søndag, og han er en af de dygtigste mennesker, jeg overhovedet kender. Så jeg er ikke nervøs for, om jeg kommer gennem Touren – overhovedet.

Flere har spurgt til Mørkøv og Jakobsen

tour de france etape six

De har netop passeret målstregen – mindre end fem minutter før tidsgrænsen.

Jai Hindley reagerer på at miste den gule trøje:

- Hvad skal jeg sige? Det var en fantastisk dag at køre rundt derude i den gule trøje på så mytiske stigninger. Jeg fik klø, men jeg nød det faktisk, ærlig talt, siger Hindley ifølge Wielerflits .

- Jeg gjorde mit bedste for at følge med de to favoritter (Vingegaard og Pogacar, red.). Men jeg slap før toppen af Tourmalet, med fire kilometer eller sådan noget, og så var det ovre. Der var lyset slukket.

Her kommer Vingegaard på podiet i den gule trøje:

tour de france etape six

Skjelmose reagerer på nedtur

- Min ryg føles, som om jeg er 90 år gammel.

- Jeg kæmpede en del med rygsmerter i dag, og derfor led jeg en del. Jeg var alene efter Tourmalet, men jeg formåede at lukke hullet til feltet lige før den sidste stigning. Jeg kørte fuld gas for at fange dem, og derfor var tanken tom i begyndelsen af stigningen.

- Jeg havde Steven de Jongh i radioen. Der var ikke så meget at tænke over. Jeg skulle bare til målstregen hurtigst muligt, men det var nogle lange fem kilometer for mig, og jeg led en del.

Om momentet, hvor Jumbo-Visma øgede farten på Tourmalet?

- Der er ikke så meget at sige. Jeg mødte Jonas i den neutrale zone, og han sagde, at vi skulle regne med en hård dag, og jeg vil sige, at han holdt dét løfte. Jeg gætter på, at han er i gult nu, og jeg vil sige, at vi andre får en lang tur til Paris, hvis han fortsætter med den fart.

To store krigere takker for kampen:

Skjelmose i gigantisk tidstab
