Tour de France 2023, Stage 6 (Tarbes - Cauterets-Cambasque), course, route, profile, animation
“Thursday, 6 July
The 6th stage of the Tour leads over 145 kilometres from Tarbes to Le Cambasque in the mountains above Cauterets. And although it is a fairly short stage, there are almost 4,000 metres of altitude to be climbed. So there is a lot of uphill. The final climb to the finish is 16 kilometres long and has an average gradient of 5.4%. And even before that, the Col d’Aspin and the Col du Tourmalet are on the programme.
In Tarbes, the riders pedal and set off for the mountains. After a flat start, a warm-up phase at the Côte de Capvern-les-Bains and another 25 kilometres on the flat, the first serious task is the Col d’Aspin.
The Aspin climbs for 12 kilometres at an average of 6.5%, and the Col du Tourmalet follows immediately after the descent. The rider who crosses the summit first after 17.1 kilometres and 7.3% gradient wins the Souvenir Jacques Goddet.
Then comes the descent to Luz-Saint-Sauveur before continuing downstream through the valley of the Gave de Gavarnie to Pierrefitte-Nestales. This is where the final climb begins.
In the first part of the route, the climb to Le Cambasque is not very demanding, but that changes in the last 4 kilometres. Then begins a section in which the road climbs at double digits for 2.5 kilometres. Then it flattens out briefly and climbs again at 6.6% in the last kilometre. Over the entire distance of 16 kilometres, the average gradient of the final climb is 5.4%.
The Tour has already ended once in Le Cambasque, a ski resort west of Cauterets. In 1989, Miguel Indurain took victory there, while Richard Virenque was successful on the nearby pass Les Crêtes du Lys. “
