Tour de France 2018 - Stage 6

Stage seven is the longest day of this year’s Tour de France, a placid-looking 231km route from Fougeres in Brittany to Chartres, 100km south-west of Paris, via Mayenne which is setup for the sprinters.

There is every chance of a breakaway – the race was won in 2004 in by a break – but if the peloton reels in the escapees then all eyes will be on Peter Sagan and Fernando Gaviria as they resume their running battle.
