The sixth stage of the 2015 Tour de France runs a hilly 191.5kms from Abbeville to Le Havre along the windy Normandy coastline.
Today, there are 3 cat-4’s on deck, meaning 3 more points available in the KOM classification:
• Km 72.0 – Côte de Dieppe1.8 kilometre-long climb at 4% – category 4
• Km 77.5 – Côte de Pourville-sur-Mer2 kilometre-long climb at 4.5% – category 4
• Km 162.0 – Côte du Tilleul1.6 kilometre-long climb at 5.6% – category 4
The intermediate sprint is at 145.5kms in Saint Leonard. This is the flatter of the two sprints, however, as the finish is uphill, more in the favor of the attackers like Valverde, Sagan, or Boasson-Hagen.
