The Czech Zdenek Stybar won at Le Havre on Thursday the 6th stage of the Tour de France after a late race marked by the fall of the yellow jersey Tony Martin, who finished the stage with one hand on the handlebars. The German has announced the evening he abandoned, who suffered a broken collarbone.
Zdenek Stybar took advantage of the confusion born of the fall under the red flame of the yellow jersey Tony Martin to spin only one victory. The Czech, triple world champion in cyclocross, won his first stage on the Tour de France. He beat Slovakia’s Peter Sagan, cursed, since it is the 14th time he finished second in the Tour.

But the strong image of this 6th stage between Abbeville and Le Havre, the yellow jersey Tony Martin, supported by his teammates in the last kilometer to cross the finish line. The German fell under the red flame and broke his left collarbone. His Tour de France is over.
The winner of last year Vicenzo Nibali and Colombian Nairo Quintana were also dragged into the fall. But both riders were able to leave with minimal hassle, since the Italian simply has some scratches and Colombian knee a bloody hand.
