The race leader attacked hard 15 kilometers from the finish line on the Pertús climb, and the favourites were unable to follow the Slovenian wheel. Moreover, the UAE star quickly hit and overtook Richard Carapaz when the Ecuadorian had already escaped.

Tadej Pogacar (UAE) has won his third Etrapa victory in Le Lioran, attacking for 15 kilometers and entering the finish line alone, and has also served the Slovenian to remove the Thorn of two years ago. Evenepoel (Red Bull BORA) was second and Seicas (Decathlon) third.

The sixth stage of the Tour de France accumulates 3,950 meters of level and five mountain ports. Cyclists will reach 1,825 in Orcieres-Merlett.

Izagirre and his teammate Alex Aranburu got into the day's getaway but couldn't fight for stage victory.

Mathieu Van Der Poel has been the fastest in the ninth stage of the Tour de France, which has been shortened by high temperatures of Correce.

The Dutch cyclist from the Alpecin-Premier Tech team has won with authority the tough upward sprint that has ended in Ussel, followed by Tom Pidcock (Pinarello-Q36.5) and Alex Baudin (EF Education-EasyPost) on a day conditioned by the heat wave.

Tim Merlier was the fastest at this stage, winning his second straight.

The Belgian Tim Merlier won the eighth stage of the Tour in Bergerac on Saturday, adding his second win in this edition and confirming that he is one of the strongest sprinters in the race.
