MONTAUBAN, France (AP) Japanese rider Yukiya Arashiro and Czech cyclist Jan Barta are off in a breakaway early in the sixth stage of the Tour de France.

Greg van Avermaet of Belgium is wearing the yellow jersey for the first time following his successful solo attack a day earlier.

Thursday's stage, 190.5 kilometers from Arpajon-sur-Cere to Montauban, contains rolling terrain in southwestern France.

It's the first time all 198 riders are still in the race at this stage in 16 years.
