‘It is one of the most beautiful days of my career’ – Maxim Van Gils sprints to victory on ‘crazy’ stage six of Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Maxim Van Gils outsprinted Tobias Johannessen to take victory on a “crazy day” in the Alps during stage six of the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

After a big breakaway led the peloton by over 4 minutes for much of the day, the general classification was decimated and Van Gils’ Red Bull teammate, Australian Luke Tuckwell, finished third in the stage and moves into first place in the GC.
