There's no rest for the battered and weary cyclists after the cobbles stage in the Tour de France.
In Stage 6, considered as the longest race of the tour with 219.9km route from Binche to Longwy.
It will also feature short and sharp climbs with a Category 3 climbing in Cote de Pelventuex just before the finish line.
