Updates from the flat 175.1km stage from Hagetmau
Stage-by-stage guide | Stage six report | Mail Luke

There are six stages categorised as “flat” on the official route guide. Stage 21 in Paris may not quite count for the pure sprinters because of the three ascents of the Côte de la Butte Montmartre towards the end … long story short, the sprinters’ teams cannot afford to mess this up today. If a breakaway was allowed to succeed, the atmosphere would be frosty at dinner tonight for those teams.

Here we go then. The riders are out on the road and have another 3.5km or so until the flag drops. We should see a very decent scrap to form the breakaway.

Spain and Belgium meet in their 2026 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal on Friday, July 10, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. ET from Los Angeles Stadium. Spain have been near-flawless through five matches, going 4-0-1 with nine goals scored and none conceded. Goalkeeper Unai Simón has set a World Cup record with six consecutive clean sheets and a shutout streak of 609 minutes spanning across the 2022 and 2026 tournaments. Mikel Oyarzabal leads Spain's attack with four goals in the World Cup so far. Belgium arrive having gone 3-0-2 across five matches, with Romelu Lukaku scoring three times in the tournament so far, including a decisive goal off the bench in the 4-1 round of 16 win over the USA that extended Belgium's unbeaten streak to 18 matches. Below are the details on how to watch. How to Watch Spain vs. Belgium Spain vs. Belgium Preview Spain's control of the middle, especially through Rodri, is the thing to watch. Spain has played this tournament with a chokehold on games. It is averaging 65.6 minutes of possession per match, and Rodri is tied for the team lead with 7 chances created among the midfielders driving that control. When Spain gets its rhythm, it pins teams back with volume passing and keeps the ball in the final third long enough to turn pressure into clean looks. Belgium has enough quality to push back there. Leandro Trossard has created 15 chances in the tournament, and Belgium's attack has shown it can generate danger even without dominating the ball. If Belgium can break Spain's midfield line and get into quicker attacking sequences, the match changes shape fast. Watch the first stretch after kickoff. If Rodri is receiving cleanly and turning forward, Spain is likely dictating the terms.
