OJ assures us that he was right as rain to present the Lottery Show eight days later. Good job he was wearing helmet!

The site of the day's final climb of the day the Cote de Saint Antonin Noble Val is not far away and also featured in feature films Charlotte Gray and The Hundred-Foot Journey. So now you know.

We have one category three climb before the finish, the Cote de Saint Antonin Noble Val, which is about 35km away. But the leaders will probably be caught by then.
The peloton is progressing at a fair pace through some lovely French countryside.

Image source, AFPAs mentioned at the beginning of the race, all 198 riders start stage six today, which is unusual. There were nine out by this stage last year, five in 2014 and three in 2013.
The crowds are out as the peloton races through Villefranche de Rouergue. The gap is down to two minutes and 30 seconds.
Not mentioned Chris Froome much today, but he's safely in the pack. This is warming up nicely for a bunch sprint come the end.

Image source, AFPSo far it looks like today is made for a sprinter and with France in action tonight against Germany in Euro 2016's other semi-final (live on BBC One), wouldn't it be perfect for a home contender to win stage six beforehand?
It would have suited Cofidis rider Nacer Bouhanni. Alas, he's missing from this year's Tour after he injured his hand in a fight on the eve of the French national road championships. He rode that event, but the wound then became infected and his Tour chances were over.
The team was built around him too, so sure his team-mates weren't too happy!

The BMC team, which features Yellow Jersey rider Greg can Avermaet, and General Classification contenders Richie Porte and Teejay van Garderen, are still leading the peloton's pursuit. The gap is now down to about three minutes.
