Stage 6 of the Tour should be a calm day on the bike, with only 163 kilometers to race, mostly completely flat with a finale into Dijon. A small fourth category ascent early in the day, but after that it is just an old-school Tour day where there is nothing to keep an eye on besides the final sprint.

Mark Cavendish - never give up

At about 84 KM left, I love watching all the jockeying for position going on.

Honestly I'm still baffled as what he was able to produce yesterday. I don't know how expectations went from serious doubts whether he could win at all to suggestions he's a favourite for all sprint stages, but her we are.

I will always wish he got 35 on the champs elysees in '21 and rode off into the sunset, and will never forgive lefevre for the snub in '22. This time line is mad. How can a 39yo do that?

The way he started stage 1, I thought for sure he was finished before he started. But as your day, here we are!

No, but he can receive a time penalty for drafting in the convoy!
