Valentin Ferron winner, 100% French podium in Gap

Beautiful day for French cycling on the Critérium du Dauphiné. Valentin Ferron (TotalEnergies) won in Gap on the 6th stage ahead of two other Frenchmen, and not just anyone: Pierre Rolland (still the best climber) and Warren Barguil.

The victory was decided within a breakaway formed after about fifty kilometers in this stage of 196.5 kilometers carried out at high speed. Ferron surprised his breakaway companions in the last kilometer. Italian Andrea Bagioli took fourth place ahead of two other Frenchmen, Geoffrey Bouchard and Victor Lafay. There are a total of six French people in the top 10 of the day.

Van Aert always in yellow

The peloton of favourites, which was up to 4 min 30 sec behind, arrived on the line with a delay of about thirty seconds. The Belgian Wout van Aert (Jumbo) kept the leader’s yellow jersey on the eve of entering the high mountains in the Alps.
