TOUR DE FRANCE 2007: STAGE SIX INFO
When: Friday, July 13
Where: Semur en Auxois-Bourg en Bresse
Length: 199.5km
DESCRIPTION
Today's stage is right on the dividing line between the first flat week and the mountainous stage. After yesterday's hilly stage, the Tour goes back to basics with another largely flat affair punctuated by two fourth category climbs.
The sprinters will be looking for one last win before the mountains, so they will be chasing down any breaks in order to ensure a bunch sprint in Bourg en Bresse.
