Adam Yates, who looks to be in the pole position to win the championship after retaining the red jersey after the fifth stage, said: “It's pretty much mission accomplished. I would have loved to win but in the end it is what it is. I fought the right guys. I still have the leader's jersey so it's a good day. It was the same climb as two days ago so it's not a surprise to have the same four guys at the front. Pogacar is impressive. He's young so we'll see him winning races again.” Image Credit: Twitter
