This ‘Tour’ is in fact a sort of Brittany → Lake Geneva straight line in 9 stages.

22 teams of 7 riders are engaged, including all top riders I believe.

    Stage 6 (Thursday 31: 14:00–14:25 → 17:30–17:55)

    A short-ish stage with some mountain passes in the Massif Central (the Forez mounts, I believe). There are several climbs, none of them is too steep, but the main one is very long.

    Perhaps GC favourites will attack (like they did in the punchy final part of stage #5); perhaps it will simply be a game of attrition before the following harder stages, as the two major climbs are a little bit far from the finish line today.

      It looked more like option B.

      I am not quite sure what FDJ (Vollering’s team) attempted to do in the final two climbs. They were pulling the ‘peloton’ (about 15 riders only), but weren’t reducing the gap with the breakaway (the lone Squiban) and weren’t dropping anyone. And Vollering didn’t get any time bonus, neither at the last climb not at the finish, while Le Court took all she could (it probably won’t matter after real mountain begins, but still…)
