Tour de France 2023 – LIVE: Pogacar wins the 6th stage, Vingegaard takes yellow, the classification

22:07 – What is the general classification of the Tour de France after the sixth stage?

This sixth stage has kept all its promises for the two favorites of this Tour de France. Whether Tadej Pogacar won the stage, it was Jonas Vingegaard who pocketed the yellow jersey. He is now ahead of his main opponent by 25 seconds and the Australian Jai Hindley, leader of the classification at the start of the sixth stage, by one minute and thirty-four seconds.

20:57 – Who are the favorites for the seventh stage?

This seventh stage between Mont-de-Marsan and Bordeaux (169 km) is promised to the sprinters, after two days spent in the Pyrenees. Whether Jasper Philipsen acts as the favorite with already two victories on this Tour de France, Caleb Ewan and Phil Bauhaus, who finished on the podium of the two stages won by Philipsen, could join the fight. Other runners could also try their luck: Mark Cavendish, Dylan Groenewegen, Mads Pedersen, or why not the Frenchman Bryan Coquard.

19:50 – What is the profile of the seventh stage?

After two days spent in the Pyrenees, the riders will return to the flat, between Mont-de-Marsan and Bordeaux, for a 169 kilometer long stage. The only difficulty of the day will be the Côte de Béguey, classified in the fourth category. This seventh stage should therefore go to the sprinters, who have struggled for the past two days.

But he was in better shape. I don’t know if it’s too early, but I love having the yellow jersey. I’m going to enjoy it every day and we’ll see as we go” analyzed the outgoing winner of the Tour de France.

It was just amazing. is my 10th win, I’m catching you Mark (Cavendish) When Vingegaard attacked in the Tourmalet I was like ‘shit, it’s gonna happen to me again like yesterday, we’re gonna get our bikes and go home’ But I had good legs today, then I attacked when I felt the right moment.”
