The sixth stage of the Tour de France from Binche to Longwy of 219.9 km will also be the longest of this edition of the Grande Boucle . After the departure in Denmark , there is the second trespass abroad, with the passage, this time, in Belgium .

A moving stage which, after yesterday's fatigue and falls, could represent the perfect opportunity for attacks from afar. The final stage, however, presents some pitfalls, with three côtes placed in the last 15 kilometers, and the finish line placed right on the last stretch.  

A climb of 1.6 km at 5.8% on average , but with the last meters very treacherous, as we showed you in the direct post stage yesterday on our YouTube channel.

A finish, therefore, suitable for classic riders (in 2017 Sagan won on the same finish line ), so the obligatory favorite will be given the yellow Van Aert jersey . The stage would also be perfect for his rival Van der Poel , but the condition shown in this start of the Tour by the Dutch champion is not that of the best days. Michael Matthews could do well , as well as Dylan Teuns , this year's winner of the Freccia-Vallone . Among the Italians, watch out for Bettiol , who showed an excellent leg in these first stages and in Bagioli , while among the forwards, the name to be made is that of Magnus Cort Nielsen , subscriber to escapes in this beginning of the Tour.
