Full results and standings after Alexey Lutsenko wins stage six Rules of the road: our guide to how the Tour de France works How to watch on TV and follow online with Telegraph Sport How much will the teams and riders earn in prize money? Full details of teams and remaining riders at the Tour Alexey Lutsenko took his first career Tour de France stage win with victory from the breakaway on stage six to Mont Aigoual. An eight-man break that included Irishman Nicolas Roche began to splinter on the main climb of the day, the Col de la Lusette, late in the 191km stage from Le Teil. EF Education First's Neilson Powless struck out in search of glory on his 24th birthday but Astana's Lutsenko followed and then left the others behind on the steepest sections of the climb before soloing to victory. Britain's Adam Yates retained the yellow jersey as the peloton finished a little under three minutes later. Yates, who became the ninth Brit to wear yellow on Wednesday after Julian Alaphilippe was hit with a time penalty, sat near the back of the peloton for much of the day but moved to the fore on the final climbs to mark his rivals. Alaphilippe, stung by the mistake of taking an illegal late feed 24 hours earlier, tried a late dig to claim back a second or two, but Yates crossed the line in 10th to retain his three-second advantage over Primoz Roglic of Jumbo-Visma.
