Tour de France 2022: stage six – live! | Tour de France


Christian Prudhomme waves them along on the longest ride of Le Tour, and off go a couple of riders in an early breakaway. Action right from the start, with Alexis Vuillermoz of TotalEnergies leading out a huge break that doesn’t last very long. Too many teams getting away quickly for that to survive.

The Tour is the Tour, as we found on Wednesday on the cobbles, though what that usually means is that Tadej Pogacar survives when all others fall apart. That’s what happened yesterday, as Wout van Aert tried his best to save his team leaders and buried himself even if he did stay in yellow, though disaster befell Primoz Roglic as he dislocated and then reset his own shoulder. Such is life on the cobbles, and to follow up, we have the longest stage of the Tour. The riders must be delighted to follow on from the carnage of Wednesday. They will be speeding along all day, and then a nasty climb not far from the flamme rouge.

The longest stage of the race has a twist in the tail: the Côte de Pulventeux comes 6km from the finish, and is 800m at 12%, so steep enough to split the field before the finish up the longer, draggier, Côte des Religieuses. It is a finish made for any of the overall contenders, but all eyes will be on Van der Poel with Julian Alaphilippe absent.

Van der Poel didn’t look in such good nick yesterday, so that opens up the contenders.
