Been on top of the Grand Ballon a couple of times ( car and then hiking. Quite some work


Stage 6/ July 11 • Mulhouse to La Planche des Belle Filles • 19:05 HKT • 3865m total climbing • 1343m max elevation • 14.4% max grade • 7 Climbs • 1 Sprint


Short description/ course profile:
La Planche des Belle Filles:

The 2019 race will feature an extra section of 1 kilometre and to pep things up this section is unpaved, except for the last 100 metres. Beginning with a leg-sapping ramp at 24%, the final kick up is too steep for gravel. The ‘new’ Planche des Belles Filles amounts to 7 kilometres at 8.7%. Stage 6 also includes Le Markstein (10.8 kilometres at 5.4%), Grand Ballon (1.3 kilometres at 9%), Col du Hundsruck (5.3 kilometres at 6.9%), Ballon d’Alsace (11 kilometer à 5,8%) and Col des Croix (3.3 kilometres at 6.1%), making it a testing day.

We got a new overall leader. Giulio Ciccone, Team Trek-Segafredo now in Yellow! Fantastic Stage. More to come tomorrow.

Amazing stage and I think the slowest finish ever in Le Tour. Brilliant!
