Yellow jersey owner Froome experienced a relaxing day, while also suffering scary scenario as a massive beach umbrella was blown by a gust of wind onto the road with about 90km remaining, forcing the British and several other riders into an immediate swerve.

Froome admitted that he was actually scared by the incident.

He still bettered his Sky teammate Geraint Thomas by 12 seconds, with Italian Fabio Aru two seconds further adrift.

Aru kept the polkadot king of the mountains jersey with 10 points, just as Simon Yates did on the best young riders honor. Team Sky stood first on overall team standings.

Friday's 213.5km seventh stage will start from Troyes and finish in Nuits-Saint-Georges, with only one fourth-category climb.
