Brest to Mûr-de-Bretagne

Stage 6 - Thursday, 12 July - 181 km (112 mi)

< Stage 5 - Home - Stage 7 >

The Stage

Another windy stage but with a very different end; no bunch sprint today! The finish today on the Mûr-de-Bretagne is a typical Valverde gradient. Expect the GC men to be among the first as well. Last year Peter Sagan won a somewhat similar stage with Michael Matthews, Dan Martin, and Greg Van Avermaet right behind him.

Winner: Daniel Martin

Tour Touristique

At the foot of the Aree hills, Commana is remarkable for its parish enclosure, typical of the region and by the covered alley of Mougau-Bihan. The disappearance and likely murder of Commana-born businessman Pierre Quemeneur was the start of the Seznec affair, one of France’s most famous criminal cases of the 20th century.
