Summary
Stage 6 of the Tour de France was not only the third sprint in this year’s race, spanning 160 km from Tours to Châteauroux, it was also the stage that Mark Cavendish first won back in 2008.
Faced with tough sprint competition from Tim Merlier (Alpecin-Fenix), Nacer Bouhanni (Team Arkéa Samsic) and Arnaud Démare (Groupama - FDJ), we couldn't help but wonder: could the Manx Missile do it again? Or is it time that we all move on from the dream that Mark Cavendish can beat Eddy Merckx's record and leave the poor Brit alone?

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast with Benji Nice and here for stage six of the Tour de France 2021. |
| 0:06.7 | This show is brought to you by our show partner, Le Col. |
| 0:09.6 | A very stereotypical Tour de France Bunch sprint day. |
| 0:13.9 | 160 Ks, maybe like one cat full climb, flat hours, one intermediate sprint. |
| 0:20.3 | And yeah, finishing in Chateau Rue, where Cavendish won his first Tour de France stage back in 2000 and eight. |
| 0:28.4 | But Benji, I was out to lunch. I missed the start of the stage having a little break. |
| 0:32.4 | Ellie Salthouse, pro triathlete is actually from Brisbane. |
| 0:35.9 | She's come to Endor for the Endor of 73, 70.3 Iron Man this weekend, so just caught up with her. |
| 0:42.6 | So you don't have to fill me in on what's going on or what happened at the start of this stage. |
| 0:46.5 | I'm afraid you made a mistake going outside because action didn't happen at the start of the stage. |
| 0:51.4 | We had a break away. That was very interesting to the point that I was like, |
| 0:55.2 | could this break away actually win with 150 K to go? |

| 1:07.2 | Calebeons out of the race, George Zimmerman for one tee, |
| 1:10.3 | then even Popple, not really the top sprinter here. |
| 1:13.2 | Unfortunately, then Greg van Alvamau right there trying to go in the break away |
| 1:16.9 | because they don't really have a spear point to go for. |
| 1:20.4 | The Niels Paulin, Sagan teammate, Kasper Osgrin, |
| 1:24.3 | the Könink and Closin GC, then we have Jonas Ricart, |
| 1:28.6 | teammate of Macho Van de Poo, and Surin Kro Anderson for DSM, |
| 1:33.3 | teammate of Kezbole to get away with Tom's coins. |
