- Dylan Groenewegen wins the sixth stage of the Tour de France, a 163km race from Macon to Dijon.
- In the final photo, the Dutchman came out on top, just ahead of Jasper Philipsen, who was later brought back.
- There are no changes at the top of the overall standings.
Dylan Groenewegen (Jaco Ala) was unable to celebrate his win in Dijon at the finish line. The duel with Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) was very close after the long 163km stage from Macon to Dijon. But the target picture finally provided clarity. The Dutchman had the nose – or rather the front wheel – right in front of him and celebrated his sixth stage win in the Tour de France.
Philipsen, a four-time stage winner last year, was down to 107th after the race. The Belgian had pushed compatriot Wout van Aert (Visma – Lease a Bike) beyond the limit in the sprint and was rewarded for it by the jury. Benyam Germay (Intermarché-Wanty) inherited second place and increased his lead in the points standings.
Pogacar was only briefly isolated.
The overall winners had a quiet day with one exception. About 70km from the finish, the field split in two due to a wind break. Leader Tadej Pogacar found himself at the front of the field, but all the co-drivers were tied up behind him. However, the Slovenian was only isolated for a short time. With so many runners at the back of the field, they soon came together again.
Therefore, there were no changes at the top of the overall standings. Pogacar remains the leader of the Tour by 45 seconds over Remco Evenepoel (Soudal – Quickstep/+55 seconds). Last year's winner Jonas Vingegaard (Visma – Lease a Bike) is 5 seconds behind him.
And this is how it goes on.
The first two time trials of this year's Tour are on the programme on Friday. The route from Nuits-Saint-Georges to Gevrey-Chambertin is 25.3km long and mostly flat. With Stefan Küng and Stefan Bissiger, Switzerland has two hot irons in the fire for the stage win. For the two from Torgau, the test against the clock is also a way to determine their position in relation to the Olympic Games in Paris.
