Stage Report: The sixth stage of the Tour de France saw Alexey Lutsenko (Astana) solo to the finish on Mont Aigoual. The Kazakh champion was part of the early break and he turned out to be the strongest rider on the stiff final climb of the Col de la Lusette. The favourites for the GC held back, except Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck – Quick-Step) who made a last metre attack. Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) remains overall leader.

Stage 6 Route:
Tour director, Christian Prudhomme describes the stage: “The finish at the Mont Aigoual will be situated on a vast “plateau” on the borders of the Gard and Lozère departments, The steepness of the road to reach it will give the day quite some excitement especially after taking on the climb to the Col de la Lusette after leaving Le Vigan. At the summit, around 15 kilometres will still have to be covered to the get to the finish line. A day when the favourites will have to remain extra focused.”
