Tour de France Stage 6 Odds, Picks and Predictions

Stage 6 of the Tour de France (Thursday, July 1) profiles as another sprint finish Riders will navigate 160.6 kilometres Thursday between Tours and Châteauroux Tim Merlier and Mark Cavendish took the Tour’s first two sprints this year; should bettors side with one of them or a longer shot?
