Die 6. Etappe der Tour de France 2023 verläuft von Tarbes nach Cauterets-Cambasque.

The second Pyrenean stage of the 110th Tour de France is a tough one. On the 144.9 kilometre section from Tarbes to Cauterets-Cambasque, there are three difficult mountain classifications to tackle. The highlight will be the first mountain finish of this year's Tour of France.

Will there be a big clash in Cauterets between Tour winner Jonas Vingegaard and two-time champion Tadej Pogacar? But there are also some mountain giants waiting beforehand. For example, the Col d'Aspin before the legendary Col du Tourmalet awaits at an altitude of 2115 metres. For the sprinters around Phil Bauhaus, it's all about staying within the time limit.
