Tour de France 2020 LIVE: Stage 6 latest updates on 191km route from Le Teil to Mont Aigoual

Stage 6 of the 2020 Tour de France sees Britain's Adam Yates wear the yellow jersey after Julian Alaphilippe was handed a 20-second penalty for illegal feeding in the final 20km of stage 5.

It means Yates is only the ninth Briton in Tour history to wear the maillot jaune, but he faces a potential challenge to his race leadership today from some of the big hitters including Primoz Roglic, who will be keen to assert his authority on the Tour.

The profile is largely flat before a mountainous finish. Just before the final 8km drag comes a gruelling 12km ascent to the Col de la Lusette – not a climb where the Tour will be won and lost, but certainly a place to lose time and make crucial inroads for those riders feeling good near the top. Follow all the latest below:

How to watch

Stage six will be broadcast live in the UK on Eurosport 1 and ITV 1.

Prediction

A breakout will probably get the job done here so how about Pierre Rolland, who hasn’t won a Tour stage for eight years now. Then again he is close enough to the top of the standings to take the yellow jersey and might not be allowed to challenge. In that case a rider like Winner Anacona would be well-suited to this kind of finish if he can get himself in amongst the contending few. He’s never won at the Tour but his single Grand Tour stage win, at the 2014 Vuelta, came on a similar mountainous profile.
