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. The Tour continues on Friday with the 168km run from Millau to Lavaur and concludes in Paris on September 20 with the 122km stage from Mantes-la-Jolie to Paris Champs-Élysées.
