Marcel Kittel is clearly the day's fastest rider.
Weather at the finish town of Troyes at 2:00 PM local time: Hot! 33C (91F), sunny with the wind from the south at 3 km/hr (2 mph). No rain is forecast.
Rated ascents:
- Km 69.0: Côte de Langres, 1.3 km @ 6.3% - cat. 4
- Km 154.0: Côte de la colline Sainte-Germaine, 3.1 km @ 4.4% - cat. 4
The race: All 193 riders who finished stage 5 started today's stage, officially at at 12:26 PM.
Three riders took off at the gun: Perrig Quemeneur (Direct Energie), Frederik Backaert (Wanty) and Vegard Stake Laengen (UAE). After 63 kilometers they were 3min 15sec ahead of the field.
Km 85: The break's gap is being kept to a manageable 3 minutes. I'm sure the sprinters' teams don't want to miss a chance to win this stage.
Km 115: The peloton started to close in on the break, reducing the gap to about two minutes. Not wanting to make the catch too soon, because that can trigger another attack, the pack has slowed. The break's lead has grown to 3min 20sec.
Km 130: After three hours of racing, the average speed is 40.2 km/hr. The trio of escapees has a gap of 2min 44sec.
Km 174: The trio have only 1min 40sec with 40 km to go.
The finish. The break was caught with 3 kilometers to go. Marcel Kittel won the stage.
Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing:
Already winner of the first sprint of this Tour de France in Liege, Marcel Kittel repeated the feat in stage 6 to make it two in Troyes. Yet it was a very different scenario this time as the GErman, perfectly led-out by his team, surged in the last 150 metres to outpower green jersey holder Arnaud Demare of France (FDJ) and fellow-German Andre Greipel (Lotto-Soudal), who were battling it out near the fences and had to settle for podium places. Alexander Krirstoff (Katusha) and Nacer Bouhanni (Cofidis) finished at the foot of the podium at the end of this long hot 216-km ride from Vesoul.
The day's break took shape from the gun when Perrig Quemeneur (Direct Energie) attacked, followed by Vegard Stake Laengen (UAE) and Frederik Backaert (Wanty-Groupe Gobert), already in the leading group on the road to Longwy. The gap quickly increased and reached four minutes after 30 km and never went over 4:15. Teams Quick Step, Lotto-Soudal and FDJ made sure that the gap never went over three minutes and kept the break under control. They even eased up a little after the feed zone in Chaumont (Km 106) for fear of bridging the gap too early.
Quemeneur snatched one point in the 4th category cote de Langres (km 69) while Backaert sprinted for the day's bonus prize in Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises, home of general De Gaulle. Arnaud Demare outsprinted the peloton to strengthen his green jersey ahead of Michael Matthews (Sunweb) and Andre Greipel (Lotto-Soudal). On the second climb of the day, Côte de la colline Sainte-Germaine (4th cat, km 154), Quemeneur grabbed another point. France's Laurent Pichon (Fortuneo) briefly attempted to join the leading trio but gave up after 15 km. Kittel makes it two
In the last 30 km, the tempo raised and the leading trio maintained 1:30 over the main pack. But it was a lost cause and with 13 km left, as Julien Vermote (Quick Step), Tiago Machado (Katusha) and Lars Bak (Lotto-Soudal) led the chase, the gap quickly diminished. Influential in the breakaway group, Vegard Stake Laengen was awarded the prize as the most aggressive rider of the day. The sprint was far less eventful than the previous one in Vittel even if Demare and Greipel were involved in a fierce battle near the fences. But while they were losing their momentum, Kittel produce his last gasp effort to earn his 11th stage victory on the Tour de France and challenge Demare in the race for the green jersey.

As they approach the line, Kittel (right) is moving faster than anyone one else
And he's got it.
Chris Froome finished safely in the pack.
Time to celebrate
Arnaud Demare retained his lead in the points classification.
Stage winner Marcel Kittel
Faio Aru is surely planning on trading his dotted jersey for a yellow one.
But Aru is going to have to get by Froome, who looks to be enjoying super form as well.
The main point of interest of stage 6 is probably Colombey-les-deux-églises, the village of Charles de Gaulle. The French ruler at the time, he was on the road side waiting for the Tour in 1960 but as the peloton had been informed of his presence, a stop was organized by French rider Henry Anglade to enable the General to shake the hand of yellow jersey holder Gastone Nencini who was going to win the Tour de France the day after at the Parc des Princes in Paris. That stage also finished in Troyes.
Starting from Vesoul today, it'll be one of the longest stages of the 104th Tour de France and a very important one for the sprinters who will look at two lines: the intermediate sprint in Colombey-les-deux-églises at km 135 and the final one in Troyes after 216km of racing. French champion Arnaud Démare wears the green jersey. He's hungry for one more victory against the likes of Marcel Kittel and André Greipel.
The list of the sprinters has been made thinner by the disqualification of Peter Sagan and the withdrawal of Mark Cavendish. Démare leads the points competition by forty points over Kittel. Even before the end of the first week of the Tour, French fans are already asking him to become the first Frenchman to win the green jersey this century.
