Tour de France 2022 Route stage 6: Binche - Longwy

Binche hosted the start of stage 3 in 2019. That day, Julian Alaphilippe soloed to victory in Épernay. It was the first and last visit of the Tour de France to the Wallonian town.

Longwy is almost as inexperienced. After a finish in 1982 it lasted until 2017 before La Grande Boucle returned. At the end of a race on lumpy roads the last 1.6 kilometres ascended to the Citadel of Longwy. Peter Sagan outsprinted Michael Matthews on the punchy finish climb.

The 2022 race to Longwy will see the same finale. The climb to the Longwy Citadel starts out with 500 brutal meters – peaking out at 11% – before the road evens out after the flamme rouge.

This year’s finale is even more promising as a ramp of 800 metres at 12.3% precedes the ‘old’ finish.

Another interesting aspect is that the Binch-Longwy stage is played out on the longest route of this year’s Tour de France. The roads go either up or down during the entire day before the last 15 kilometres are even more trying.

Hi there,,,…I’m a Tour de France Fan since 1947….Yes way back when it Was …A real tour de France and they went around France…..Now it’s still called Tour de France but in reality they Don’t Go around France…..Now it’s a bit here and there Parts Of France….One they make sure that the Alps and Pyrenees Are Included….Way back almost ALL the Stages were over 200 kms. Now they are barely over 140 Kms…..Way Back you Had Champions These Days They are Called Champions but in my Book they Are Just Bikers and Not Champions…… Coppi Bartali Bobet…Koblet …ect….Where Champions…..!

I’m thinking about going to see this tomorrow about 2 hours away from Longwy. Never been to a tour stage. Anyone got a recommendation of a place to view it with relatively easy parking and access?

Hello and welcome to Cyclingnews ' live coverage of stage 6 of the Tour de France

The riders have just set off towards kilometre zero in Binche, on what will be the longest stage of the 2022 Tour de France.

The Tour visits its third country, after the Grand Départ kicked off proceedings in Denmark, before the caravan headed back to home soil in France. The race begins in Belgium today, heading through the Ardennes before returning to France after around 60km of racing.

Race director Christian Prudhomme waves his yellow flag and we are off on stage 6 of the Tour de France.

Immediately there is lot of interest as riders show their interest in being a part of the day's break.

Alexis Vuillermoz of Team TotalEnergies is the first to come to the fore, but there are plenty more riders trying to follow.

There has been a crash - Mathieu Burgaudeau of Team TotalEnergies is brought down at the back of the peloton and he looks pretty beaten up. The team lost another rider overnight with Daniel Oss pulling out following a collision with a fan - he has a fractured vertebra.

The bunch is strung out right the way down the undulating straight road out of Binche as the battle for the break is on.

Team BikeExchange, Lotto Soudal and Trek-Segafredo among the teams interested in escaping the bunch today, on what could well be a day for the breakaway.

Yesterday's cobbled stage saw the first breakaway win of the Tour so far, with Simon Clarke recording an incredible victory , his first at the race.

The next moves begin, with Cofidis and Bora-Hansgrohe at the head of the race.

Mathieu Van der Poel is already out the back of the peloton. He's clearly not feeling himself , as he said following yesterday's stage.

All change again at the front of the race as riders from Team DSM and QuickStep-AlphaVinyl lead the charge.

The road kicks up a steep ramp and another group of riders use it to try and launch an attack.

It's frantic at the sharp end as the wind is clearly causing havoc.

The yellow jersey, Wout van Aert, drives at the front as a gap appears between the front group and the rest. 

There's clearly a great deal of stress in the bunch today but as Wout van Aert continues to lead the front group, with Tadej Pogačar and Filippo Ganna part of the same group which is stretched across the road in an echelon.

The pace drops off for a moment as everything comes back together again. It's a hectic start on today's stage of the Tour de France.

Three riders have a small gap - Taco van der Hoorn (Intermarche-Wanty-Gobert), Benoit Cosnefroy (AG2R-Citroen) and Toms Skujins (Trek-Segafredo).

The three riders have a ten second gap with a fourth, from Team DSM, trying to bridge across.

A few more riders try to get away but Wout van Aert chases them down.

Van Aert has joined the breakaway and tries to encourage them to ride together.

The three leaders retain a slim lead over the chasing group of four which includes Van Aert.

Van Aert is really keen to be part of this break, it seems - he continues to drive although his chasing group were caught by the peloton.

This first 20km have been relentless. With 200km still to come, it's going to be a long, hard day for the peloton.

The front group of three are working well together but the attacks continue in their wake, preventing them from carving out a substantial lead.

The bunch are still together but there's a strong sense that there are more attacks to come. 

The front group of Cosnefroy, Van der Hoorn and Skujins have 15 seconds.

Mathieu Van der Poel has made it back to the rear of the peloton. 

The gap to the front group is now 20 seconds, with a truce in the bunch for now.

Tim Wellens (Lotto Soudal) has clipped off the front of the bunch and the peloton seems content to let him go.

Burgaudeau (Team TotalEnergies) makes it back to the bunch following his crash. His  kit is ripped in a few places but he's still on his bike.

A rider from Team BikeExchange-Jayco now works his way free of the bunch - it's Amund Grøndahl Jansen. He faces an uphill battle to bridge to Wellens, let alone the front group.

The bunch is strung out again, with Wout Van Aert continuing to do a lot of work at the front end of proceedings.

The front group now have a gap of 1'01" to the peloton. Wellens and Jansen have joined up to form a chasing group, they have a lot of work to do if they want to make it across.

The peloton executes a sharp right turn onto a narrow road beautifully, with Van Aert at the front. He immediately drives the pace on.

There's still no sense of calm among the riders, who maintain a high pace, with a group detaching itself from the front of the bunch.

Wellens and Jansen are about to be swallowed up by a chasing group which includes Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers). The rest of the bunch catches onto the group but they are stretched out in a long line along the road as they try to keep up.

Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) takes up the pace at the front of the peloton, and those in his wheel have to work hard to stay with him.

It's a lively one, with plenty of teams keen to be involved in the action.

At the back of the peloton, Jack Bauer (Team BikeExchange) has a bike change, while Jonathan Castroviejo (Ineos Grenadiers) also struggles with a mechanical.

A strung-out peloton crosses the biggest dam in Belgium, before Wout Van Aert yet again attacks.

Tom Pidcock wants to be a part of Van Aert's move, and chases onto his wheel.

With the continued high pace, the front three still only have a gap of 25".

Jonathan Castroviejo is chasing back onto the peloton after a mechanical issue.

Team BikeExchange and Bahrain-Victorious are the next two teams to try their luck and the breakaway group are now in sight. Tough break for the three riders who have worked hard but to no avail.

You've got to feel for the three riders in the breakaway. Pain etched on their faces shows how hard they are working and yet they just can't make it stick.

Wout Van Aert and Tadej Pogačar are both visible right at the front of the peloton now.

Van Aert is the instigator of yet more chaos, taking off again. Jonas Vingegaard pays close attention to Pogačar who is still near the front of the race. This is relentless.

The front group have a significant gap over the rest now. This has the feel of a one-day classic and yet we have more than two more weeks of this. Those GC teams who have missed this move will need to work to bring it back.

It begins again. Lotto Soudal and B&B Hotels are the next teams to try and make an impact.

Magnus Cort (EF Education-EasyPost), who has been in every breakaway so far this Tour, is back at the front once more. You can't keep a good man down, especially when he's got a polka dot jersey to defend.

Christophe Laporte (Team Jumbo-Visma) is part of the group that has made a move. There is around ten riders here and they have 8 seconds.

Will this be the one to get away? There are some really big names here, and it could be a break that could go all the way, if the peloton allows it.

The group at the front slowly adds to their lead - it's up to 19 seconds now. 

The composition of the breakaway:

Kasper Asgreen (QuickStep-AlphaVinyl)

Christophe Laporte (Team Jumbo-Visma)

Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo)

Simon Geschke (Cofidis)

Magnus Cort (EF Education-EasyPost)

Vegard Stake Laengen (UAE Team Emirates)

Andres Leknessund (Team DSM)

Stan Dewulk (AG2R-Citroen)

Georg Zimmermann (Intermarché)

Conor Swift (Arkea-Samsic)

Never say never... just when we thought there might be a chance of a lull in the action, it seems to be back on once again, as moves continue to go from the bunch, with the gap to the front group back down to 16".

Teams that have missed the break are still trying desperately to be a part of it, including Lotto Soudal and Bahrain-Victorious.

Once again, Wout Van Aert in the maillot jaune presses on, looking over his shoulder as if to ask who is going to go with him.

The gap is down to 11", and it looks as though this one, too, will be doomed.

The peloton has completed almost 60km of racing and still, there is no accord. It's an unbelievable start to a stage.

The damage being done at the back of the peloton is significant. Mathieu Van der Poel continues to suffer, along with George Bennett and Marc Hirschi (UAE Team Emirates), two of Tadej Pogačar's key climbing domestiques.

The gap to the front group drops below ten seconds and their days must surely be numbered.

It's back together once again, and Philippe Gilbert (Lotto Soudal) picks that moment to launch an attack.

Trek-Segafredo and Arkéa–Samsic are next to put their noses in the wind. 

Still no sign of anyone getting away, as Mads Pedersen tries to animate something at the front of the race.

The race re-enters France, and the Grand Est region, as it heads at break-neck speed for Longwy.

A lone rider has a small gap - Franck Bonnamour from B&B Hotels, who won last year's most combative rider prize.

Bonnamour is swallowed back up as a group of six, including Wout Van Aert, breaks away from the bunch.

The group is Van Aert, Steven Kruijswijk (Team Jumbo-Visma), Jakob Fuglsang (Israel-PremierTech), and Quinn Simmons (Trek-Segafredo). Taco Van der Hoorn was a part of the move but he abandons the attempt.

Van Aert, Fuglsang and Simmons have a gap. A unlikely trio - will they be able to make it stick?

Van Aert, Simmons and Fuglsang maintain their gap at the front.

There's a large group over four minutes down including two UAE Team Emirates domestiques.

The peloton continue to drive, as the Van Aert breakaway builds up a lead of 25".

There is finally calm in the bunch.

After a frantic, relentless 80km of racing, the peloton have allowed Van Aert, Simmons and Fuglsang their freedom, for now. 

The gap is just over 50".

Nightmare for Van Aert as he has an issue with his chain - he quickly fixes it and is on his way.

Van Aert catches Simmons and Fuglsang.

With calm prevailing in the peloton, the three-man breakaway is able to build up a 1'48" lead.

Quinn Simmons is first over the first climb of the day, the category 3 Côte des Mazures.

The peloton goes over the top of the first categorised climb of the day 2'34" behind the breakaway,

The group containing George Bennett is at 4'42".

The gap continues to grow to 3'22", with the yellow jersey of the Tour de France Wout Van Aert, another GC contender in Jakob Fuglsang, and Quinn Simmons who is not a GC contender but will be keen to secure points in the KOM competition.

In terms of what the rest of the day has in store, there's some more bumpy terrain to contend with before a long, reasonably flat section of around 40km.

Then it's back to bumpy stuff, with two categorised climbs coming right at the end of the stage, that will be the ideal launch pad for a stage victory. Will it come from this breakaway group, or will the peloton reel them back in before then?

UAE Team Emirates are driving the pace at the front of the bunch, despite their two missing domestiques, Bennett and Hirschi, who continue to labour in the third group. They are around 1'30" behind the main peloton.

Guillaume Van Keirsbulck is the lone Alpecin-Deceuninck rider at the head of the bunch, ahead of the UAE train.

The average speed so far on this stage has been 50.96 km/h. 

Alpecin riding in front of UAE Team Emirates is a slightly strange tactic - it suggests that perhaps they have a plan for later in the stage.

The breakaway riders are working well together, slowly growing their lead, which is about to tip over the four minute mark.

Wout Van Aert with yet another mechanical issue - he is swiftly issued with a new machine by his team mechanic and he is off in pursuit of his breakaway colleagues. He doesn't take long to reach them.

Alex Kirsch of Trek-Segafredo has abandoned the race. He has looked to be having a difficult time of it, way off the pace early in the day.

The gap holds steady at around 3'50". The third group on the road including Bennett and Hirschi are slowly clawing their way back to the bunch, around 40 seconds behind.

A touching moment between Jack Bauer (Team BikeExchange-Jayco) and Max Walscheid (Cofidis) as they pat one another on the back, having made it back on to the back of the main peloton.

That's the group back together again then, as the UAE pair and the rest of their group finish the job off pulling back their deficit.

100km left on today's stage, almost 120km already completed. 

The gap to the break is 3'42".

Bora-Hansgrohe and EF Education-EasyPost have added their firepower to the chase at the front of the peloton. The gap drops slightly as a result.

The break's lead continues to diminish slowly as the peloton begin to up the tempo. 

The four teams working on the front are making an impression on the breakaway's lead, as the race travels along the 40km flat stretch of today's route. 

There is an intermediate sprint in around 30km.

The gap drops beneath 3 minutes.

The peloton is strung out along the road once again as Bora, UAE, EF and Alpecin give chase.

Alpecin-Deceuninck confirm that Alex Kirsch suffered from sickness, citing that as the reason for his abandon from the Tour.

#TDF2022 We’re very sorry to see @alexkirsch92 abandon his first Tour de France. He suffered some sickness at the start of the race, feeling empty since. pic.twitter.com/Jz9IzQKhPV July 7, 2022

Gap stabilises at 2'44" after a sustained period of attacking from the peloton.

Incredible shot of Fuglsang and Simmons in the break on today's stage (image credit: Getty images).

With 80km remaining in the stage, we have an intermediate sprint incoming in around 5km, before the lumpy terrain should start to take its toll again around 15km after that.

Despite the chase being put in by the peloton, the gap has stretched back out to around 3 minutes.

Peter Sagan receiving some assistance off the back of the peloton. He's chasing to make it back to the bunch.

The bunch goes through the intermediate sprint - Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) takes the win ahead of Fabio Jakobsen, who wears the green jersey on behalf of Wout Van Aert.

Wout van Aert takes the full points available for the intermediate sprint. 

The gap is dropping again, with EF driving the pace in the peloton. Van Aert, Simmons and Fuglsang now have 2'09" over the bunch.

With the gap dropping below two minutes for the first time since it went out.

The break loses one third of its firepower as Jakob Fuglsang pulls to the side of the road, presumably with a mechanical issue.

So we are left with a breakaway of two - Van Aert and Simmons. Their gap is dropping quite rapidly now, with just under 60km still to ride and two categorised climbs remaining. 

Gap - 1'42"

Van Aert means business - he ups the tempo and forces Simmons to ride hard to keep up. The gap goes back out to around 2 minutes.

Van Aert is forcing Simmons to his limit to keep up the pace. The race leader looks incredibly composed given the amount of effort he has expended, not just today but in the race overall.

UAE Team Emirates and Alpecin continue to drive the chase back in the peloton. They aren't making much headway though, as Van Aert and Simmons maintain the two minute gap.

A reminder that the two remaining classified climbs both come in the final 15km of the race. It's not an easy run-in before that though, with plenty of ups and downs along the way.

Really interesting situation here. Wout Van Aert looks cool as a cucumber whereas Simmons is clearly pushing himself very hard. The peloton are chasing but can't make any impact on the two minute gap. 

Owain Doull (EF Education-EasyPost) drives the peloton but still they can't make a difference to the gap. 

The gap remains at two minutes. The peloton need to come up with a new plan if they're going to catch him.

Alpecin-Deceuninck are back in amongst the chasers, with Sylvian Dillier on the front with Owain Doull and the UAE train.

Finally the gap starts to show signs of falling, as the teams committed to fighting for the stage win up the tempo.

After stabilising at two minutes for a long while, the gap is now under 1'30".

Wout Van Aert and Quinn Simmons fight to stay away on stage 6 as they approach Longwy.

The kilometres fall as the time gap follows suit. 32.7km remain, with around 15km until the climbing begins, and Van Aert and Simmons nurse a 1'08" lead to the rest.

The peloton have the breakaway pair in their sights. Wout Van Aert picks this moment to pull away from Quinn Simmons.

Wout Van Aert is once again a man on a mission. He sets off solo in search of stage win number two.

The Tour de France race leader in the maillot jaune Wout Van Aert of Team Jumbo-Visma leads stage 6 solo, just over a minute ahead of a surging peloton.

Simmons slides back through the bunch after a valiant effort in the day's break.

It's peloton vs Van Aert, and Van Aert is holding them steady at 1:10.

The rest of Team Jumbo-Visma have enjoyed a day of relative calm in the bunch as the yellow jersey goes on the rampage. They will appreciate that after the chaos of yesterday's cobbled stage.

Ineos Grenadiers come to front to join the chase. Filippo Ganna adds his considerable power to the effort and yet the gap remains over a minute.

The peloton tear through the town of Longuyen, and they take the gap below a minute. EF Education-EasyPost drive at the front with Stefan Bissegger.

Let's remember there are still two short climbs in quick succession in the run-in to the finish. How will they impact a peloton that's already done a huge amount of work on a relentless day at the Tour?

20km to go - Van Aert has 46 seconds on the bunch, who surge after him, looking after their relative interests. 

The scales are tipping in favour of the peloton, as the gap drops to 35 seconds. No matter how this turns out, it's been some ride from Van Aert.

Ineos Grenadiers, wearing the yellow helmets as they lead in the team classification, lead the charge. 

The gap is 29 seconds.

The pace starts to tell as riders are spat out of the back of the peloton, including Caleb Ewan (Lotto Soudal).

Van Aert begins the climb - the Côte de Montigny-sur-Chiers is a category 4 test.

After a difficult start to the day, George Bennett (UAE Team Emirates) leads his team mates and the bunch up the climb.

Van Aert grimaces with the effort. His gap is 20 seconds.

Van Aert is digging in, the gap stabilising at 21 seconds.

Swathes of riders drop out the back of the bunch.

AG2R and Bora take over at the front and the fresh legs make all the difference, immediately shaving five seconds off the lead of Wout Van Aert.

Van Aert completes the climb. There is one more to go, and it arrives in 7km time.

The race leader has given everything in defence of his yellow jersey today. The peloton have him in their sights though, and he will shortly be swallowed back up.

A crash in the bunch causes issues for a number of riders - Lotto Soudal's Janse Van Rensberg appears to be the worst affected.

Bahrain-Victorious and BikeExchange take up the reins at the front of the bunch. Van Aert is seconds away from being caught.

Van Aert moves to the side of the road as the peloton surges past him. What a day he has had.

Fabio Jakobsen is among a number of riders who have been dropped. It's anybody's guess who will win this stage - as for the yellow jersey, Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost) may be the beneficiary if Van Aert drops out of the back, which is looks as if he will.

Jumbo-Visma are immediately on the march at the front of the peloton, as they roll through the 10km to go marker.

The peloton has slimmed in numbers as they head toward the final climb of the day. The crash caused a split and the high pace has seen many riders dropped. Most of the main GC favourites appear to among the front group.

Another crash as a rider from Groupama-FDJ comes down.

The bunch string out as they head down a short descent. 7.2km remain.

Team BikeExchange-Jayco are clearly up for this finish with Michael Matthews.

The riders begin the short, sharp climb of Côte de Pulventeux.

It's just 800m long but at an average gradient of 12% it's likely to have some impact. Jumbo-Visma lead up the climb with Michael Matthews in close order.

Alexis Vuillermoz (Team TotalEnergies) attacks up the climb.

Benoit Cosnefroy (AG2R-Citroen) tries to attack, followed by Tadej Pogacar.

Plenty of riders are still in close order as they crest the summit of the climb - there are now 5km to race to the finish.

Vuillermoz continues to lead, with a short gap over the rest. 

Van Aert has dropped like a stone after his mammoth effort, and now ships around 3 minutes to the rest.

The yellow jersey will change hands at the end of the day.

Wout Van Aert has been awarded the combativity award for the day - well deserved.

Vuillermoz continues to lead, with Jumbo-Visma at the head of the chase five seconds back.

The road kicks up steeply with 2km to go.

Vuillermoz is being chased down by a pack of GC riders - his attack comes to an end.

UAE Team Emirates lead into the final 1.4km. Who will take the stage?

The road continues to rise. It's a really tough conclusion to the longest stage of the Tour de France.

Tadej Pogačar looks ominous in the wheels of his team mates.

Into the final kilometre.

A reduced bunch sprint will decide the stage win.

Roglic moves through with Tadej Pogačar behind him. 200m to go.

Tadej Pogačar launches his sprint and wins Stage 6 of the Tour de France.

That was a tense finish, but the younger Slovenian has struck a blow to the confidence of all his rivals with that display.

The rest weren't able to stay with the pace of Pogačar. He will take control of the yellow jersey as a result of bonus seconds.

Michael Matthews performs well to come second, with David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) in third place.

Pidcock, Quintana, Teuns, Vingegaard, Bardet and Roglic make up the rest of the top ten.

Tadej Pogačar takes control of the yellow jersey - Neilson Powless is 4 seconds behind, with Jonas Vingegaard at 31 seconds.

The gruppetto rolls in, with Wout Van Aert a part of it, as he completes his final day in the yellow jersey.

The race was completed in one of the fastest times over a comparable distance in the race's history, coming in around 40 minutes ahead of the fastest predicted time.

Michael Matthews: "The team put me in a good position, I started well, they jumped a bit in the final but I was able to open up and get my sprint in.

"All this week so far, he's amazing, what he's doing for himself and for the sport and for the fans, it's amazing to see a guy with such talent use it in a really good way. He's won the Tour twice but he's putting on a show for the fans, giving us riders a hard time. It will make it all the more special when I can eventually beat him."

Neilson Powless: "That was the plan as soon as we saw Wout go in the breakaway, we can let him burn himself and try to go for yellow at the end. The bonus seconds at the end took it away. Really disappointed we couldn’t get yellow in the end, the whole team committed to it.

On Pogacar: "It seems like he can do just about everything, it will be interesting to see how he goes in the next two weeks. Man on man Tadej is probably the strongest guy in the world.

The last two days were pretty hectic, everybody was pretty smoked today which I think made the final a bit more wild than it would have been. Everybody on the limit. We’re in the Tour now."

Tadej Pogačar, on his win: "Yes, every time I win, it's even better. Today was so hard from the start, the first two hours was so crazy. The strongest guy went in the breakaway [Wout van Aert]. A lot of guys pulling in the peloton, our team as well. I was thinking that he would come to the finish, but in the end, the peloton was stronger. 

"We came to the final climb and I was still feeling good. The team did an incredibly good job bringing me to perfect position. I'm so happy. It was not a pure sprint because we rode the last two climbs really hard, it was above our threshold, super hard into the final climb, hectic, and I guess I had good legs to push at the end."

On taking yellow: "I'm super happy to take the win, and anything else is just a bonus. We will think about [the yellow jersey] in the next days."

Stage 6 has been a day of attacking racing and pure entertainment. 

Tomorrow the GC riders battle it out on the first summit finish of this year's Tour de France - the La Super Planche Des Belles Filles.

Tadej Pogačar gave his thoughts about tomorrow's stage to Super Planche des Belles Filles.

"Tomorrow we enter the climbs. It's good to have the yellow jersey and I need to defend now, in these days. It gives confidence and motivation for everyone in the team. The yellow jersey is something you cannot say no to, you ride everyday with pride and a smile on the face.

"Today, more than being confident in myself, it was the team's confidence in me. They pulled really hard all day, and the guys said, 'it's a good day for you, you can win this'. They brought me almost to the finish line and I just had to deliver in the final for all the guys who made a sacrifice today.

"Tomorrow [La Super Planche des Belles Filles] is one of the climbs where you need to go full gas from bottom to top, and there's not much calculation, but you can explode pretty fast because there are super, super steep sections. It's good that I know the climb up to the last 1km, and then I hope that I have as good legs as I have had until now.

"The gravel, I don't think it plays too much of a factor tomorrow. It's more about the possibility of a puncture, but not about technique. It's just, in the end, it will be the best climbing legs, the first on the top."

Wout Van Aert, speaking after today's stage.

'It was not my plan to try this in the morning. I hoped to be able to join a bigger break away and then maybe defend yellow and even give it a go for the stage win. Also it seemed like there was a lot of interest in the breakaway so I believed that we would end up with a lot of guys on the road. 

"In the beginning was a lot of cross tailwind, it was really tricky. It seemed like it was like literally no team who wants to chase so everybody wanted to be in that break and everybody kept chasing me down.

"At some point we finally managed to open up a gap and then we're only with three so that was a little bit of a disappointment. Then I thought okay, I'm just gonna try it and enjoy myself. And if it doesn't work, then it's a it's a nice way to honour the jersey on my last day in it."

On stage 7:

"Tomorrow it will be definitely not be my day but an important day for Jonas and Primož. I think they survived well today and they could sit back in the bunch with me in front, so that was was also nice. So tomorrow I try to put them in a good position towards the climb and hopefully they can be there with the best."

"I will try to recover and help them during this stage but in the final it's up to them and to Steven and Sepp who are both going really well. So yeah. That's that's not a problem."

Thanks for joining us today for a gripping day of racing.

Join us again tomorrow, when we'll be with you every step of the way on stage 7, as the GC contenders face their first summit finish on La Super Planche Des Belles Filles.

Stage six of the Tour de France 2022 starts in Binche, and finishes 212.9 kilometres later, in Longwy.

As today’s stage runs through perfect breakaway country maybe some overall contenders will be tempted to slip a beer from the renowned brewing town of Binche in their back pocket to quench their thirst on the race’s longest stage – maybe.

When is stage six of the Tour de France taking place?

The Tour de France stage six takes place on Thursday, July 7. It will start at 11.15am BST, and is estimated to finish at 16.29 BST.

How long is stage six of the Tour de France?

The Tour de France stage six will be 219.9km long.

Tour de france stage six route.

Although the parcours looks like a nailed on day for the break to succeed, the punchy finish could well mean any escapees will be hunted down by a peloton packed with riders who’ll fancy their chances of success. 

The finale is a little different from the one where Peter Sagan won in 2017. It’s been beefed up significantly with the addition of the Côte de Pulventeux 6km from the finish. Averaging 12% for 800m, it should shake out some wannabe stage winners. Following that, the riders will hit the Côte des Religieuses, which winds for 1.6km up to the finish, the gradient briefly reaching 11%.

Tour de France stage six: what to expect 

Timing is key to success on this stage. Back in 2017, BMC, notably Richie Porte, worked hard to set up Greg Van Avermaet, while Bora’s Rafał Majka sat in behind them with Peter Sagan on his wheel. With 250 metres remaining, Sagan decided it was time to take advantage of the armchair ride that Majka had provided for him. He went to the front, stomped on the pedals, pulled one foot out, got it back in again and still had enough in hand at the line to hold off Michael Matthews’ late charge. However, the new Pulventeux climb offers an opportunity to lighter and more explosive riders.

Tour de France stage six: riders to watch

The climbs aren’t long enough for Ardennes Classics riders to prevail, so once again we're looking at the likes of MVDP. But make no mistake, the GC riders must be at the front too. A first stage win for Tadej Pogačar?

Giro 2024, étape 6: Parcours, profil, favoris... Tout ce que vous devez savoir sur la 6e étape

C'est un rendez-vous attendu. Ce mercredi, si la journée était promise aux sprinteurs, Benjamin Thomas a réussi à l'emporter à l'issue d'une échappée de 80 kilomètres, en compagnie de trois autres coureurs. Ce jeudi, la sixième étape du Tour d'Italie 2024 empruntera trois chemins blancs, dont deux sont déjà connus pour être sur le parcours des Strade Bianche.

Le parcours de la 6e étape

De la station balnéaire de Viareggio à la commune de Rapolano Terme , la sixième étape du Tour d'Italie 2024 sera longue de 180 kilomètres, dont 11,6 s'effectueront sur des "sterrati" soit des chemins de terre. Deux secteurs, ceux de Vidritta et Bagnaia, sont déjà connus des coureurs pour être sur le parcours des Strade Bianche , l'une des plus grandes classiques de la saison. Il y aura également le tronçon inédit de Pievina.

Le profil de la 6e étape

Après trois étapes consacrées aux sprinteurs, le terrain de jeu est cette fois propice aux attaquants. Sur le papier, avec ce profil, de nombreux coureurs pourraient être tentés de prendre d'abord l'échappée, qui devrait avoir un bon de sortie. Néanmoins, les 70 premiers kilomètres seront plats. Avec le final en légère montée et un parcours escarpé auparavant, difficile d'imaginer qu'un pur sprinteur puisse s'imposer.

Les favoris de la 6e étape

Maillot rose et favori à la victoire finale, Tadej Pogacar s'était imposé sur les Strade Bianche pour sa course de reprise début mars après un raid en solitaire de 80 kilomètres. Ce mercredi, interrogé sur la possibilité d'attaquer, le Slovène a décliné mais on connaît son goût pour l'offensive et il ne faudra pas trop le provoquer du côté de ses rivaux. Deuxième de la prestigieuse classique en 2018, Romain Bardet devra lui montrer un meilleur visage après une entame difficile en raison de problèmes gastriques.

Vainqueur des Strade Bianche en 2019, Julian Alaphilippe aura une occasion de s'exprimer. Reste à savoir si le Français tentera de prendre l'échappée ou s'il essaiera "à la pédale" de briller. Les leaders du classement général auront sans doute l'idée de ne pas perdre de temps plutôt que d'en gagner. De son côté, l'équipe UAE Emirates n'aura peut-être pas envie de rouler plus que de raison pour empêcher une échappée de prendre la fuite.

• Giro: le classement de la 5e étape remportée par Benjamin Thomas
• Giro 2024: le classement général des coureurs et des équipes après la 5e étape

Le Giro 2024 est diffusé sur la chaîne Eurosport 1 , qui prendra l’antenne dès 12h30 pour le départ fictif de la 6e étape. Vous pourrez aussi suivre cette sixième étape du Giro en direct sur le site et l'application de RMC Sport. L'arrivée est attendue aux alentours de 17h10.

Tour de France – 6. etape

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)
• Tobias Johannessen +1'22"

Top-tre i klassementet:

• Jonas Vingegaard
• Tadej Pogacar +25"

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:

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:

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

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:

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

Danskeren krydser målstregen hele 7:56 efter vinderen Tadej Pogacar.

Dermed bliver Skjelmose kørt langt ud af top-ti efter dagens etape.

Her er top-tre i klassementet efter etapen:

Etappen, TV, Livestreams Alles Wichtige zur Tour de France 2024

Stand: 08.05.2024 11:43 Uhr

Die Tour de France 2024 beginnt in Italien. Von Florenz geht es über die Alpen, das Zentralmassiv und die Pyrenäen zum Finale. Das findet erstmals nicht in Paris statt. Alles Wichtige zum größten Radrennen.

Wann findet die Tour de France 2024 statt?

Die Tour de France führt vom 29. Juni bis bis 21. Juli 2024 von Florenz nach Nizza. Sie startet also in Italien, wo die ersten drei Etappen stattfinden, bevor es am vierten Tag nach Frankreich geht. Das Ziel in Nizza erreichen die Radprofis nach gut drei Wochen am 21. Juli.

Wie viele Etappen gibt es?

Bis zum letzten Zielstrich in Nizza müssen die Fahrer 21 Etappen bestreiten. Eine wichtige Rolle beim Kampf um den Tour-Sieg spielen dabei die Etappen durchs Hochgebirge. 2024 geht's zunächst durch die italienischen und französischen Alpen, bevor der Kurs über das Zentralmassiv in die Pyrenäen führt. Bei den vier Bergankünften können die Anwärter auf den Gesamtsieg für größere Zeitabstände sorgen. Wichtig werden aber auch vor allem die zwei Einzelzeitfahren, von denen das zweite am allerletzten Tag in Nizza stattfindet.

Warum endet die Tour nicht in Paris?

Es ist der erste Grand Départ in Italien und der 26. insgesamt, der im Ausland stattfindet. Die Tour endet am Mittelmeer in Nizza. Wegen der Olympischen und Paralympischen Spiele in Paris findet die letzte Zieleinfahrt erstmals nicht in der französischen Hauptstadt statt.

Wie lang ist die Tour de France 2024?

Die Etappen der Frankreich-Rundfahrt 2024 ergeben insgesamt eine Streckenlänge von 3.492 Kilometern.

Welches sind die Highlights der Tour de France 2024?

Die Highlights der Strecke sind zahlreich: Auf der 4. Etappe, wenn es von Italien nach Frankreich geht, steht der 2.642 Meter hohe Col du Galibier im Programm. Auf Etappe neun, wo es rund um Troyes auf gut 32 Kilometern über 14 Gravelsektoren geht, muss das Pannen- und Sturzrisiko eingerechnet werden. Auf der 14. und 15. Etappe geht es zweimal schwer durch die Pyrenäen.

Spektakulär wird es gegen Ende der Rundfahrt in den Alpen: Die 19. und 20. Etappe werden mit zwei Bergankünften abgeschlossen. Am letzten Tag gibt es nicht etwa ein gemütliches Ausrollen. Die Organisatoren haben stattdessen ein durchaus forderndes Einzelzeitfahren angesetzt, das das Gesamtklassement noch einmal verändern könnte.

Daniel Oss während der 11. Etappe der Tour de France 2023

Wie viele Bergetappen, Flachetappen, Zeitfahren und Ruhetage gibt es bei der Tour de France 2024?

Es gibt sieben Bergetappen, acht Flachetappen, vier hügelige Etappen und zwei Zeitfahren bei der Tour de France 2024. Es können also nicht nur die Kletterer in den Bergen ihr Können zeigen. Auch Sprinter, Allrounder und Zeitfahrer haben die Gelegenheit, auf Etappenjagd zu gehen. Zudem sind der zweite und dritte Montag während der Rundfahrt Ruhetage.

Wie viele Teams und Fahrer gibt es bei der Tour de France 2024?

176 Fahrer werden in Florenz an den Start gehen. 22 Teams mit jeweils acht Fahrern haben die Startberechtigung erhalten. Als einziges Team mit deutscher Lizenz ist Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe dabei. Die endgültige Nominierung der Fahrer erfolgt wenige Tage vor dem Start der Tour.

Wer ist der Favorit bei der Tour de France 2024?

2023 hat Jumbo-Visma mit Jonas Vingegaard erneut gezeigt, wie der zweimalige Tour-Sieger Tadej Pogacar zu schlagen ist. Nach dem schweren Sturz Vingegaards bei der Baskenland-Rundfahrt Anfang April mit mehreren Knochenbrüchen ist allerdings fraglich, ob der Däne rechtzeitig in Form kommen kann. Pogacar, der zuvor auch beim Giro d'Italia am Start ist, dürfte der Topfavorit sein.

Was ist das Gelbe Trikot, Grüne Trikot und Gepunktete Trikot?

Bei der Tour tragen die Profis, die in einer der Wertungen vorne liegen, ein besonderes Trikot. Das bekannteste ist das Gelbe Trikot (französisch "Maillot Jaune" ), welches der Führende in der Gesamtwertung trägt. Der Beste in der Sprintwertung fährt im Grünen Trikot. Das Gepunktete Trikot bekommt der Führende in der Bergwertung. Der bestplatzierte Jungprofi (unter 25) darf täglich das weiße Trikot überstreifen.

Gibt es auch 2024 wieder Bonussekunden?

Ja, es gibt während der Etappen punktuell schon Bonus-Sekunden. 8, 5 und 2 Sekunden für die drei Erstplatzierten, die an strategischen Stellen der Strecke vergeben werden (vorbehaltlich der Genehmigung durch den internationalen Radsportverband UCI), aber ohne Auswirkung auf die Punktewertung. Bei den Etappen mit Massenstart erhalten im Ziel die drei Erstplatzierten jeweils 10, 6 und 4 Sekunden Zeitbonus.

Wie hoch sind die Preisgelder?

Es gibt Preisgelder in Höhe von insgesamt 2,3 Millionen Euro für die Teams und Fahrer zu gewinnen, darunter 500.000 Euro für den Gesamtsieger der Einzelwertung.

Wer überträgt die Tour de France 2024 live?

Die Sportschau wird von allen Etappen live im TV, Livestream und Live-Ticker berichten, unter anderem auf sportschau.de und in der ARD Mediathek. Die Entscheidung der Etappen zeigt die Sportschau auch jeweils live im Ersten.

Wie lang sind die Etappen und wie sieht der Zeitplan aus?

Gleich die erste Etappe ist mit 206 Kilometern von Florenz nach Rimini die drittlängste Etappe der Tour de France 2024. Die längste führt zwei Tage später über 229 km von Piacenza nach Turin. Die kürzeste Etappe mit Massenstart ist das vorletzte Teilstück von Nizza hinauf auf den Col de la Couillole mit 133 Kilometern. Außerdem müssen die Radprofis zwei Einzelzeitfahren mit insgesamt 59 Kilometern im Kampf gegen die Uhr bestreiten (7. und 21. Etappe).

Etappe 2 Tour de France 2024

Emilia Romagna is het decor voor de tweede etappe in de Tour de France 2024.

Na de 3.600 hoogtemeters van etappe 1 is de rit van dag 2 in de Tour de France 2024 een stuk eenvoudiger. Het fenijn zit hem in de tweede etappe, op weg naar Bologna, in de staart.

Parcours etappe 2 Tour de France 2024

De renners starten op 30 juni in de kustplaats Cesenatico in de regio Emilia-Romagna. De eerste 140 km zijn nagenoeg vlak. Tussen kilometer 70 en 90 kilometer moeten er nog wel twee lastige pukkels beklommen worden. Deze kuitenbijters zullen nog niet gebruikt worden voor een serieuze aanval. Die mogen we wel verwachten in het slot van de etappe. In Bologna koerst het peloton over 2 lokale rondes richting de finish. Scherprechter zal de

Côte de San Luca zijn die twee keer beklommen moet worden. Met 1,9 km tegen 10,6% gaan de sprinters deze klim niet overleven. Maar wie wel

Favorieten etappe 2 Tour de France

Bicycling tour de france special 2023.

Mannen die we in het voorjaar de Vlaamse en Ardense heuvels zien bedwingen kunnen we ook nu vooraan verwachten. De Côte de San Luca is geen Muur van Huy, maar wel zeer lastig als hij in de finale 2 keer kort na elkaar beklommen moet worden. Wij schrijven daarom de volgende namen op als favorieten voor de winst. Uiteraard Tadej Pogacar van UAE. Maar ook mannen als Stephen Williams (Winnaar Waalse Pijl 2o24), Maxim van Gils, Benoit Cosnefroy, Santiago Buitrago, Romain Grégoire, Mathieu van der Poel moeten in Bologna mee kunnen doen om de dagzege.

2026 Tour de France all-but-confirmed to start in Barcelona

T he Tour de France is set to welcome its fourth Grand Départ in five years in 2026 with Barcelona all-but-confirmed to host the start of the race in two years.

Following Grand Départs in the Danish capital of Copenhagen and the Basque city of Bilbao in 2023, the 2024 race will kick off in Tuscany this summer, and the race will head to Catalunya in 2026, according to a report by local newspaper El Periódico .

A deal has been reached to start the race in Barcelona after over a year of negotiations between the city's council and Tour de France director Christian Prudhomme, El Periódico reports, with the official announcement set to be made next month.

The deal means that Barcelona will host the start of a Grand Tour for the third time, following Gran Partidas at the Vuelta a España in 1962 and 2023. No Spanish city has yet hosted a Grande Partenza of the Giro d'Italia , while both San Sebastián and Bilbao have hosted Tour de France starts in the past.

Last year, Barcelona hosted an opening team time trial at the Vuelta, followed by a GC-neutralised hilly stage 2 won by Andreas Kron. The city also hosts the hilly closing stage of the Volta a Catalunya, while back in 2009 it hosted a Tour de France stage finish and start.

News of the agreement means that Grand Départs of the next three Tours de France are now set, with Lille hosting the start of the race in 2025 . The race will begin with two sprint stages and a punchy uphill finish, with stages 2 and 3 both bringing the potential for crosswinds by the North Sea.

With the 2026 Barcelona Grand Départ yet to be officially confirmed, nothing is yet known about how the race's opening days will pan out in terms of route planning.

However, with the race likely having to pass the mountain passes of the Pyrenees to return to France, an early mountain stage could be on the cards, a la stage 4 of this year's race, which crosses the Alpine border from Italy, passing the high-mountain climbs at Sestriere, the Col de Montgenevre, and the Col du Galibier before a descent into Valloire.

Unlike the Tour, the starts of future editions of the Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España have yet to be announced. The Spanish race will this year kick off with three stages in neighbouring Portugal, while a start in Monaco has been rumoured for the 2025 edition.
