The 6th stage of the Tour de France 2005 was 199 kilometers long and led from Troyes via Joinville and Toul to Nancy . The race was shaped by Christophe Mengin , who pulled away from the field after 23 kilometers. A few kilometers later, Stéphane Augé , Mauro Gerosa , Jaan Kirsipuu and Karsten Kroon caught up with him. At 72 km the top quintet had a maximum advantage of six minutes on the field.
In the last mountain classification Mengin was able to pull away. His lead was ten kilometers before the finish line and 30 seconds (the other four drivers had meanwhile been overtaken). In the last corner before the home straight, Mengin slipped on the rain-soaked road and drove into the barrier. Alexander Vinokurov , who was driving close behind him, was slightly hampered by this. Lorenzo Bernucci took advantage of the resulting mess and was able to break away decisively. Vinokurow crossed the finish line shortly behind him, and many of the pursuers in the peloton also fell.
The stage win went to the Italian Bernucci, who won his first ever win among the professional drivers. The real winner of the stage was Vinokourov, he not only crossed the field with a lead of seven seconds, but also won twelve bonus seconds. This enabled him to reduce his gap to Lance Armstrong by 19 seconds to 62 seconds.
