Weather at the finish city of Gavernie-Gèdre at 2:10 PM, local time: 30C (86F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the north-northwest at 8 km/hr (5 mph). There is a 10% chance of rain.
Rated ascents
The stage: Tour boss Christian Prudhomme writes: The most demanding of the Pyrenean stages combines the classic with the new. A showdown between the Tour’s big favorites is quite possible on the climbs of the Col d’Aspin and the Col du Tourmalet, assuming, of course, that they decide to join battle with more than 40 kilometers of the stage remaining. If they hold back, though, the day’s spoils will be contested by the best climbers in the breakaway in the sumptuous setting of the Cirque de Gavarnie, which they’ll reach after a long but rolling climb – 18.7 kilometers at an average gradient of 4%.
The race: Alex Molenaar (Caja Rural-RGA) did not start. He crashed heavily in Pau on Wednesday, breaking a metacarpal in his right hand. That left 180 riders to start stage six at 12:42 PM.
Before the heavy climbing began Arvid De Kleijn (Tudor Pro Cycling) abandoned.
Descending the Tourmalet GC leader Torstein Træen crashed. After getting checked out by doctors he was able to resume racing.
Here's the stage six report from the race organizer:
The first mountain showdown of the Tour de France 2026 led to an absolute masterclass by Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates-XRG), perhaps the most impressive of his long list of feats in the event. The four-time winner of the race attacked on the slopes of the Col du Tourmalet to claim a 23rd stage win (one more than André Darrigade, previously fifth best scorer in history), his eleventh in the Pyrenees, his second in this edition. At the summit of the iconic climb, he already achieved a historic landmark, becoming the first reigning world champion to conquer the Tourmalet KOM. Pogacar kept pushing, covering the final 43 kilometers alone - a new personal best in the Tour - to open massive gaps at Gavarnie-Gèdre. Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) finished second (+2’38’’), ahead of a small group led by Isaac del Toro (UAE Emirates-XRG on the line (+2’57’’). Pogacar also takes the Maillot Jaune from Torstein Træen, who suffered a crash on the Tourmalet downhill but was able to complete the stage nonetheless.
The race:
A final stage in the Pyrenees, and what a stage! Starting from Pau, the riders face over 4,000 meters of elevation to reach Gavarnie-Gèdre past the iconic ascents up to Col d’Aspin and Col du Tourmalet. At 2,115 metres of altitude, the latter is the second highest summit of the Tour de France 2026, only surpassed by Col du Galibier (2,642 m) on day 20. The day’s challenges promise thrilling action, chasing the polka-dot jersey, the Maillot Jaune, and battling for GC.

Stage six starts in Pau.
Pedersen leads the first battle of the day
Victor Campenaerts is the first attacker of the day, as soon as the flag drops. The Belgian’s move signals Visma-Lease a Bike’s ambitions to weigh tactically on the stage. He’s rapidly joined at the front by Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek), whose eyes are set on the intermediate sprint of Pouzac (km 59.1). Huub Artz (Lotto Intermarché) briefly participates in the breakaway before dropping back to a bunch paced by Jasper Philipsen’s Alpecin-Premier Tech and Biniam Girmay’s NSN.
Pedersen takes the full 25 points in Pouzac, with a gap of just 15 seconds to the bunch, led by Max Kanter (XDS Astana) on the line. The Danish powerhouse immediately drops back to the bunch. And Campenaerts is rapidly reeled in.
UAE Emirates XRG launch Pogacar
Visma-Lease a Bike still want to race aggressively. Their moves create splits in the bunch, but Tadej Pogacar’s UAE Emirates XRG bring order. After a series of attacks and counter-attacks, Ben O’Connor (Jayco AlUla) eventually manages to get away on the cat. 3 Côte de Mauvezin, after 78 kilometers of battle.

Ben O'Connor (Jayco AlUla) leads Xabier Azparren (Pinarello-Q36.5) over the Côte de Mauvezin. O'Connor kept on going wihile Azparren waited for the bunch,
The Australian climber opens a gap of 1’15’’ en route to Col d’Aspin (the 2nd most featured ascent in the history of the Tour, behind Col du Tourmalet). But UAE Emirates-XRG up the ante. O’Connor is reeled in 5 kilometers away from the summit. Lenny Martinez (Bahrain Victorious) narrowly edges Valentin Paret-Peintre (Soudal Quick-Step) as the French climbers battle for the 10 KOM points at the summit.
UAE Emirates - XRG continue applying pressure with Tim Wellens, Felix Grossschartner, Brandon McNulty, Adam Yates, and eventually Isaac del Toro. The Mexican wonderkid launches Tadej Pogacar’s attack as they enter the last 5 kilometers of ascent up to the Col du Tourmalet. The Slovenian star flies away from everyone with 43 kilometers to go.

Tadej Pogacar has flown away on the Tourmalet. This is the Tour's 89th ascent of the mountain, the first being in 1910. Octave Lapize was the first to the summit that year
Pogacar flies away
Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) tries to resist, but the gap gradually opens. It’s already up to 30 seconds at the summit (km 147.8), where Pogacar becomes the first reigning world champion to conquer the Tourmalet KOM.
The Slovenian keeps pushing and eventually claims his 23rd Tour stage win with a gap of 2’38’’ to Vingegaard. Behind the Dane, a small group gets together. Isaac del Toro (UAE Emirates-XRG) is the first on the line (+3’57’’), ahead of Remco Evenepoel (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe), Paul Seixas (Decathlon CMA CGM), Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe), Juan Ayuso (Lidl-Trek), Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek), Lenny Martinez (Bahrain Victorious), and Sepp Kuss (Visma-Lease a Bike).
Dropped on the ascent to Col du Tourmalet, overall leader Torstein Træen (Uno-X Mobility) crashes on the downhill. He eventually completes the stage with a gap of 29’55’’. Pogacar takes the Maillot Jaune with a 2’38’’ margin on Vingegaard.
