About Tour de France 2025 Stage 6 beforehand

Stage 6 is a brutal 200-kilometre test in Normandy with over 3,200 metres of climbing and 9 categorised climbs. It ends with a steep 700-metre ramp at 10% in Vire. While it suits the puncheurs, the GC contenders will be watching closely - this could be a decisive day.
