Stage 6: Tarbes to Cauterets-Cambasque
Date: July 6, 2023
Distance: 144.9km
Stage type: Mountain
The overall contenders will have to show themselves on stage 7 in the high Pyrenees. The 144.9km stage is short but packed with major climbs between the flat roads of Tarbes and Cauterets-Cambasque.
First up is the the Col d’Aspin, followed by the legendary 2115m-high Col du Tourmalet. A long descent to the valley floor is followed by the 16km-climb up to the finish line. The average gradient is only 5.4% but the final three kilometres are over 10% and could inspire attacks.
Rafał Majka was the last winner in Cauterets in 2015, after he distanced his breakaway companions on the Col du Tourmalet.
