Team BikeExchange, Lotto Soudal and Trek-Segafredo among the teams
The bunch is strung out right the way down the undulating straight road out of Binche as the battle for the break is on.
There has been a crash – Mathieu Burgaudeau of Team TotalEnergies is brought down at the back of the peloton and he looks pretty beaten up. The team lost another rider overnight with Daniel Oss pulling out following a collision with a fan – he has a fractured vertebra.
Alexis Vuillermoz of Team TotalEnergies is the first to come to the fore, but there are plenty more riders trying to follow.
Immediately there is lot of interest as riders show their interest in being a part of the day’s break.
Race director Christian Prudhomme waves his yellow flag and we are off on stage 6 of the Tour de France.

The riders have just set off towards kilometre zero in Binche, on what will be the longest stage of the 2022 Tour de France.
