Kazakh cyclist Alexey Lutsenko (Astana) won the sixth stage of the 107th edition of the Tour de France, a 191-kilometer day held this Thursday between the French town of Le Teil and Mont Aigoual (1,560 m.).
With a time of 4 hours, 32 minutes and 34 seconds, Lutsenko won alone in the arrival at Mont Aigoual ahead of the Spanish Jess Herrada (Cofidis) and the Belgian Greg Van Avermaet (CCC), second and third respectively.
The winner of the stage came out of the escape of the day, a select group of runners who managed to open a gap with the peloton facing the final climb with 2 minutes and a half of advantage to finish contesting the victory.
Lutsenko escaped in the company of four other riders in the first kilometers of the stage, starting at Le Teil, and was the strongest on the ascent to the first category Col de Lusette, whose summit was 15 kilometers from the finish line. .
Only the Spaniard Jess Herrada stood up to him during that climb, but the Cofidis rider could not catch the Kazakh and was second at the finish line at 55 seconds.
Among the favorites there were no attacks. The ascent to the Lusette was made at the pace set by the Ineos team, of the Colombian Egan Bernal, without any attacks occurring, nor was any of them left off the hook.
They entered the finish line 3 minutes behind the winner, led by France’s Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-Quick Step), who made a timid attack in the final stage.
Britain’s Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott), who donned the leader’s jersey after the stewards applied a 20-second penalty to the French Julian Alaphilippe for undue revival at the end of the fifth stage, remained at the forefront of the pack. individual general classification.
