2024 Tour de France Stage 6 Live Coverage
Welcome to our live coverage of Stage 6 of the 2024 Tour de France! Our live profile and commentary are below, followed by a preview of the technical aspects of the route.
Course Preview
The 6th stage of the Tour de France takes the riders 163 kilometres from Mâcon to Dijon. The route is virtually flat.
The altitude gain between Mâcon and Dijon is less than 900 metres, so the fast men will be looking forward to the finale in Dijon. This is an added attraction for the sprinters, as the road is dead straight in the last 800 meters.
The starting venue, Mâcon, is located on the River Saône and is hosting Le Tour for the seventh time. The last time was in 2019, and Thomas De Gendt took the win that day. The breakaway specialist crossed the line in Saint-Étienne 7 seconds ahead of Thibaut Pinot and Julian Alaphilippe.
The last Tour de France stage finish in Dijon happened in 1997. Bart Voskamp outgunned Jan Heppner in a two-up sprint, but both were relegated, and the winner of the peloton sprint, Mario Traversoni, was declared the stage victor. It was the biggest win in his career.
