The 6th stage of the Tour de France 2013 took place on July 4th, 2013. It led from Aix-en-Provence over 176.5 km to Montpellier . In the course of the stage there was a mountain classification in the fourth category and a sprint classification. So the sixth stage counts as a flat stage. There were still 193 drivers at the start.

Race course

The Spaniard Luis Ángel Maté attacked in the first kilometer and created a lead of almost six minutes on his own. However, the backlog of the main field melted just as quickly and Maté was overtaken by the peloton at 44 km. Since there were no longer any outliers ahead, the intermediate sprint in the field was decided. André Greipel prevailed here ahead of Mark Cavendish and Alexander Kristoff . The subsequent only mountain classification at the Col de la Vayède won Kanstanzin Siuzou without resistance, he got a point in the mountain classification.

In the following, the stage was unspectacular, the main field remained largely closed and so the peloton also decided in the finish sprint. Greipel won this again, ahead of the leader of the points classification, Peter Sagan , and Marcel Kittel . The yellow jersey wearer, Simon Gerrans , had deliberately dropped back to let his teammate, South African Daryl Impey , take the yellow jersey. This made Impey the first African to wear the yellow jersey in the history of the Tour de France.
