Tour de France Today: All you need to know about stage 6

Stage 6 looks set to be an unforgiving day of racing in Normandy. It’s a long stage at over 200km, and it has over 3,200 metres of climbing, including nine categorised climbs. The final of these is a 700-metre-long drag averaging 10% to the finish line in Vire, Normandy.

On paper, it’s another stage for the puncheurs, but this could easily turn into an important stage for the GC riders, even if things stay together up until the final kicker to the finish line.

In the two previous hilly stages, Tadej Pogačar, Mathieu van der Poel and Jonas Vingegaard have come to the fore, and it is expected that they will do so once again on stage 6. The likes of Remco Evenepoel, Matteo Jorgenson, Oscar Onley, Romain Grégoire, João Almeida, Kévin Vauquelin and Mattias Skjelmose could also feature once more.
