The sixth fraction of the French race proposes the second goal from high altitude: will Alaphilippe be able to recover the yellow jersey?

The Tour de France 107 continues to offer an unusual plot and in the sixth stage it already proposes the second final uphill after the fourth stage in Orcieres-Merlette. This time we will reach the 1,560 meters of Mont Aigoual.

ROAD

In fact, a lot of flatness for almost three-quarters of the stage, with the intermediate sprint placed at Saint Hippolyte Du Fort. Then, in succession, four great mountain prizes, including the finish line. Here they are in detail. After 146 km the Cap de Coste (2.1 km at 7.3%); after 163 km the Col des Mourezes (6.1 km at 4.8%); after 177.5 km the Col de la Lusette (11.7 km at 7.3%); the final climb of Mont Aigoual measures 8.3 km with an average slope of 4%.

THE SITUATION –

In the fifth split on Wednesday there would have been no significant changes to the overall standings, but Alaphilippe’s 20-second penalty for irregular refueling caused Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) to restart in the yellow jersey.
