The race: All 172 stage five finishers started today. The official start was given at 1:26.

Immediately Wout van Aert and Julian Alaphilippe attacked. Quickly there were ten riders trying to get clear. They were joined by another five.

After an hour of racing the lead group had twenty riders: Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), Matteo Trentin (UAE Team Emirates), Michal Kwiatkowski (Ineos Grenadiers), Neilson Powless, James Shaw (EF Education-EasyPost), Kasper Asgreen, Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal-Quick Step), Nikias Arndt (Bahrain Victorious), Benoît Cosnefroy, Oliver Naesen (Ag2r-Citröen), Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck), Bryan Coquard, Anthony Perez (Cofidis), Gorka Izagirre, Ruben Guerreiro (Movistar), Krists Neilands (Israel-PremierTech), Chris Juul-Jensen (Jayco-AlUla), Matîs Louvel (Arkéa-Samsic), Tobias Halland Johannessen and Jonas Gregaard (Uno-X). The peloton, led by Bora-Hansgrohe followed at 2min 45sec.

As the lead group started to ascend the day's first big challenge, the Col d'Aspin, riders without climbing chops started to come off. This was the Tour 76th ascent of the mountain, the first was in 1910.

First over the Col d'Aspin was Neilson Powless, followed by Ruben Guerreiro, Wout van Aert, Mathieu van der Poel and then Julian Alaphilippe.

The next challenge was the Tourmalet. The lead group was down to fourteen riders as the mountain started to bite: Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), Michal Kwiatkowski (Ineos Grenadiers), Neilson Powless, James Shaw (EF Education-EasyPost), Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal-Quick Step), Oliver Naesen (Ag2r-Citröen), Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck), Ruben Guerreiro, Gorka Izagirre (Movistar), Krists Neilands (Israel-PremierTech), Chris Juul-Jensen (Jayco-AlUla), Matîs Louvel (Arkéa-Samsic), Tobias Halland Johannessen and Jonas Gregaard (Uno-X)

The pack, led by Bora-hansgrohe, was 4 minutes 30 seconds back.

Julian Alaphilippe attacked the lead group, but that move was quickly shut down by Wout van Aert.

Surprisingly Rigoberto Uran and Daniel Martinez, normally fine climbers, were dropped by the main pack.

The Tourmalet took a real toll. Ben O'Connor, who was fourth in the 2021 Tour de France, was dropped by the main pack. Alaphilippe was dropped from the breakaway group.

And a bigger deal, Sepp Kuss, Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar dropped GC leader Jai Hindley.

Two kilometers from the summit of the Tourmalet there was a group of five in the lead: Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), Michal Kwiatkowski (Ineos Grenadiers), James Shaw (EF Education-EasyPost), Ruben Guerreiro (Movistar) & Tobias Halland Johannessen (Uno-X).

One kilometer from the summit, Vingegaard and Pogacar are together, 1min 15sec behind behind the five leaders. Vingegaard attacked, but Pogacar was able to hold his wheel.

Tobias Halland Johannessen was first over the the Tourmalet, followed by Ruben Guerreiro and then James Shaw and the rest of the break.

Tobias Halland Johannessen was first over the Tourmalet with Ruben Guerreiro just behind him

Jai Hindley was now in a group with David Gaudu and Romain Bardet, two minutes behind Vingegaard and Pogacar. Vingegaard was at that point the virtual yellow jersey.

Vingegaard and Pogacar joined the front group and with fifteen kilometers to go there were eight in front: Michal Kwiatkowski (Ineos Grenadiers), Ruben Guerreiro (Movistar), Tobias Halland Johannessen (Uno-X), Wout van Aert, Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates), Neilson Powless and James Shaw (EF Education-EasyPost). They were 2 minutes, 30 seconds ahead of the yellow jersey group.

Wout van Aert had been pulling the lead group and with 4.5 kilometers left in the stage he sat up and let the group go.

With four kilometers to go Vingegaard, Pogacar and Kwiatkowski were in the lead. And then it was just Vingegaard and Pogacar.

2.8 kilometers from the finish Pogacar attacked Vingegaard. With two kilometers to go Pogacar had a 7-second lead.

With one kilometer to go Pogacar grew his lead to 12 seconds.

Pogacar held his lead to the end and won the stage. Jonas Vingegaard came in second, 24 seconds later.

Here's the race organizer's stage 6 summary:

The day after losing his first battle, Tadej Pogacar bounced back to claim a solo victory at Cauterets-Cambasque, his 15th of the 2023 season and his 10th stage at the Tour de France while defending champion Jonas Vingegaard took over from Jai Hindley in the overall ranking. The Dane exits the Pyrénées in the yellow jersey.

VAN AERT AND VAN DER POEL IN A 20-MAN LEADING GROUP
The start proper of stage 6 was given at 13.26 to 172 riders. Wout van Aert attacked from the gun, followed straight away by Julian Alaphilippe. A group of 20 leaders was formed at km 20 in three waves: Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), Matteo Trentin (UAE Team Emirates), Michal Kwiatkowski (Ineos Grenadiers), Neilson Powless, James Shaw (EF Education-EasyPost), Kasper Asgreen, Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal-Quick Step), Nikias Arndt (Bahrain Victorious), Benoît Cosnefroy, Oliver Naesen (Ag2r-Citröen), Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck), Bryan Coquard, Anthony Perez (Cofidis), Gorka Izagirre, Ruben Guerreiro (Movistar), Krists Neilands (Israel-PremierTech), Chris Juul-Jensen (Jayco-AlUla), Matîs Louvel (Arkéa-Samsic), Tobias Halland Johannessen and Jonas Gregaard (Uno-X). Coquard passed first at the intermediate sprint of Sarrancolin (km 49.2), before Van Aert, while the peloton led by Bora-Hansgrohe was timed 3’20’’ behind.

POWLESS FIRST AT ASPIN, JOHANNESSEN FIRST AT TOURMALET
Powless crested col d’Aspin in the lead, which put him back in the situation of claiming his polka dot jersey back as Felix Gall was nowhere near the front of the race. The group with Guerreiro in second position was reduced to 14 riders. More action took place in the ascent to the Tourmalet. Alaphilippe sped up 11.5km before the summit and Shaw followed him but Van Aert, pacing the group steadily, brought them back one kilometre further. The breakaway group split up and it was action-packed in the main peloton as well. Jumbo-Visma put the hammer down so Hindley wasn’t able to follow Sepp Kuss, Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar at the exit of La Mongie with 6km of climbing remaining. Vingegaard and Pogacar were timed 1’15’’ behind the five leaders 1km before the top. Johannessen became the first Norwegian to pass the Tourmalet in first position with Guerreiro second again. Van Aert waited for his team’s leader and it made a front group of eight riders in the downhill: Kwiatkowski, Guerreiro, TH Johannessen, Van Aert, Vingegaard, Pogacar, Powless and Shaw. The yellow jersey group was two minutes adrift.

POGACAR SOLOES IN THE LAST 3KM
Powless was first to surrender in the final ascent to Cauterets-Cambasque. Van Aert stopped pulling and sat up 4.5km before the end, leaving a leading trio at the front but Kwiatkowski couldn’t take part in the finale as it went down to the expected duel between Vingegaard and Pogacar. The Slovenian attacked 2.7km before the finish. Caught by surprise, the Dane didn’t manage to make it across as the leader of UAE Team Emirates continued to increase his advantage to cross the line 24 seconds ahead of his rival. Tour de France neophyte Johannessen rounded out the stage podium. Hindley reached the finish in sixth position 2’39’’ after Pogacar. Vingegaard exited the Pyrenees with the yellow jersey and an advantage of 25’’ over Pogacar and 1’34’’ over Hindley.
