Fallen in the final stages, Kopecky is confirmed in the yellow jersey
Emma Norsgaard wins the sixth stage of the women's Tour de France from Albi to Blagnac of 122.1km. Great action by the Movistar athlete who resisted the return of the group of the best and, taking advantage of a fall in the last kilometer, kept the advantage over her pursuers.
Second place for Charlotte Kool, while Lotte Kopecky, in the yellow jersey, falls on the ground.
Three Italians in the top ten; fifth place for Soraya Paladin , while Chiara Consonni and Vittoria Guazzini finished sixth and ninth respectively.
