TdF stage 6 profile

Stage 6 preview from DS Matt White

Well the first real test for the climbers is here. Only two climbs tomorrow and they are not super hard, but a hill top finish with a solid last 3 km we will surely see some action.

Ryder Hesjedal, Trent Lowe, Tour de France stage 5 The plan for us is to have somebody in the early break if it is a decent size. Then have Trent and Ryder (both pictured left) going with moves on the cat 2 climb and leaving just Christian and Dave to go with the big hitters on the last climb. It will be hard to off load Shumacher or Kirchen though. They are both classy climbers and both have won very big races that finished uphill! Kirchen this year at Fleche Wallone and Shumacher last year Amstel.
