Overview
- Harold Tejada surged clear late in Apt to win Stage 6 by six seconds, with Dorian Godon taking second as the breakaway was caught inside the final five kilometers.
- Jonas Vingegaard kept the yellow jersey and an unchanged overall margin of 3:22 over Dani Martínez and 5:50 over Georg Steinhauser after the rolling stage into Provence.
- A day earlier, Vingegaard attacked on the Côte de Saint‑Jean‑de‑Muzols with 21 km remaining to win Stage 5 by about two minutes and build his decisive general‑classification lead.
- The race was reshaped on a storm‑lashed Stage 4, when Juan Ayuso crashed out and heavy crosswinds split the peloton, costing contenders like Kévin Vauquelin more than three minutes as Vingegaard seized the lead.
- David Gaudu abandoned during Stage 5 after feeling completely drained, according to his team, as other notable riders including Brandon McNulty, Pavel Sivakov and Luke Durbridge also left the race.
