Weather in Argilly, near the finish, at 1:40 PM, local time: 32C (89F), sunny, with the wind from the SSW at 19 km/hr (12 mph). No rain is forecast.

Rated ascent:

The race: All 193 of stage 6's finishers started today's stage. The official start was given at 12:23 PM.

We had another day with the break blasting away from the field shortly after the stage began. Today it was Manuele Mori (UAE Team Emirates), Yohann Gène (Direct Energie), Dylan van Baarle (Cannondale-Drapac) and Maxime Bouet (Fortuneo-Oscaro) who took off. The quartet has not been taking it easy. They covered 43.9 kilometers during the first hour of racing.

Km 62: The break of four has a lead of 2min 15sec.

Km 98: The break is being kept on a short leash. They are 2min 26sec ahead of the field.

Km 130: The four escapees are 3min 16sec ahead of the pack. Lotto-Soudal is at the front of the peloton with Quick-Step close by. Oh, now the gap is 2min 40sec.

Km 164: No real change as the riders cruise by the vineyards. The four escapees are 2min 22sec ahead of the pack.

Km 184, 30 to go: The break is being rounded up. The gap is down to 42sec. The peloton can see the escapees.

The finish: The breakaway was caught with just 5 kilometers to go, setting things up for a big bunch sprint. And, the man of the hour, Marcel Kittel, won the stage in a photo-finish fron Edvald Boasson Hagen. That makes three stage wins this Tour for Kittel. Chris Froome remains the GC leader.

Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing:

Marcel Kittel was over the moon as he claimed his third stage victory in the 104th Tour de France in Nuits-Saint-Georges, the wine growing town after which the St George crater has been named on the moon. It was a very tight bunch sprint finish in Burgundy as photo-finish was necessary to determine that the German has beaten Edvald Boasson Hagen. Chris Froome retained the yellow jersey.

193 riders started stage 7 in Troyes. Maxime Bouet (Fortuneo-Oscaro) attacked from the gun to give birth to a four-man breakaway with Manuele Mori (UAE Team Emirates), Yohann Gène (Direct Energie) and Dylan van Baarle (Cannondale-Drapac). It didn't take a long time for the peloton to get organized with three domestiques setting the pace: Olivier Le Gac (FDJ), Lars Bak (Lotto-Soudal) and Julien Vermote (Quick-Step Floors), at the service of sprinters Arnaud Démare, André Greipel and Marcel Kittel respectively. They were followed by the whole Team Sky wearing the yellow helmets of the leaders of the teams' classification and protecting race leader Chris Froome. As the maximum time gap was 3.40 at km 30, the escapees quickly understood their chances of success were minimal.

The race situation remained stable until the race reached the vineyards of Burgundy with 50km to go. The undulating and curvy terrain, as well as some wind with many changes of direction, inclined the peloton to speed up. Their deficit went below one minute within 40km to go. But they waited for the right moment to catch the four breakaway riders and no attempt to split up the bunch was reported. The leading quartet surrendered with 6km to go.

The FDJ team of green jersey holder Arnaud Démare was very visible in the run in but Dimension Data caught the right moment for South African champion Reinardt Janse van Rensburg to lead Edvald Boasson Hagen out. The Norwegian was close to claim his third Tour de France stage victory after he did so in Lisieux and Pinerolo in 2011 but the photo-finish eventually designated Marcel Kittel who himself didn't know if he had won or not. But it was his third success in this Tour de France and his twelfth one since he first started in 2012. He equals Erik Zabel to become the most successful German stage winner ever at the Grande Boucle.

After the race Kittel said, "When I crossed the line, I really had no clue if I won or not. Before the finish, I knew it was going to be close. At 150m to go, I thought it was still 200, but luckily, the door opened on the right side I could pass Edvald [Boasson Hagen]. To reach twelve stage wins at the Tour is an incredible success. I'm in a great shape. I'm super happy. The lead out was great. It's just crazy. I already have three wins in this Tour. I'm so happy about that."

Organizer's stage 7 preview:

On the moon, St George is a crater, named with Anglicized spelling by the crew of the mission Apollo XV in 1971 after the bottle of wine that appears in Jules Verne's novel “From the earth to the moon” written in 1865. It was a Nuits-Saint-Georges, from Burgundy.

Starting in Troyes where Marcel Kittel made himself the most successful sprinter of the 104th Tour de France so far with two victories, stage 7 will finish in Nuits-Saint-Georges that never hosted a stage of the Grande Boucle before. Two stage finishes of Paris-Nice indicate the place suits the sprinters. They were won by Freddy Maertens in 1977 and Matt Goss the week before the Australian triumphed in Milan-Sanremo in 2011. But as much as stage 6 looked on paper like an inevitable bunch gallop at the end, the race on stage 7 might not be as easy to read as the previous one.

The 50-km long conclusive loop in the vineyards, from Gevrey-Chambertin – a magic name in wine culture – to Nuits-Saint-Georges favors breakaways. Shall it be a sprint finish anyway, the 2-km long final straight will offer a great spectacle with the likes of André Greipel and Alexander Kristoff eager to challenge Kittel and green jersey holder Arnaud Démare who have built their confidence on winning early in this Tour. Nuits-Saint-Georges is a nice place for celebrations.
