Tour de France Stage 6


Not much to report on Stage 6, so I’ll keep it short.

Longest stage of this years race, a 5 man break that builds a 11 minute lead only to see Italian Adriano Malori, lone remaining rider, caught with less than 3k to go. Now that's Pelaton Precision. I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time, I am sure the rookie will be wishing he stayed in the pelaton when the mountains arrive.

Thor remained in the hunt for the stage win, and retained yellow, while fellow countryman Edvald Boasson Hagen edged out cousin Mat Goss for the stage win.

Only other item of note, Alberto seems to be able to stay in the spotlight with several bike changes, while the Schleck brothers are rarely mentioned. What ya think about that?

On to stage 7, and we are nearly one third of the way to Paris.
