00:00After Sir Mark Cavendish made history in breaking the record for the most stage victories in the Tour de France,
00:06the sprinters have another chance of victory on stage 6, from Macan to Dijon.
00:10As the race travels south to north, the riders will be challenged by the wind blowing onto their left-hand shoulder throughout the day.
00:16A steady 18 to 19 km per hour, but with gusts of upwards of 38 to 39 km per hour,
00:22it could make for an intense day with the possibility of crosswind and splits as the peloton race on open roads and through the vineyards.
00:30A stage of 163.5 km on flat terrain, after a roundabout in the final 600 m, it's straight as an arrow to the finish.
00:38But don't be fooled in sprinting too early.
00:41Alpecin de Keuninck will be hoping for a day for Philipsen, whilst Christophe De Lee, Jakobsen and Grunewegen are all hot favourites.
