Tour de France
Wayward beach umbrella a threat on calm Tour day
By ANDREW DAMPF &
JOHN LEICESTER
Associated Press
TROYES, France — On
long, mostly flat sultry stages
like Thursday’s, all Chris
Froome and the other leaders
in the Tour de France want to
do is take it easy.
Let the sprinters have their
day in the sun and prepare for
the next mountain stages this
weekend.
Until a beach umbrella
floats across the pack.
That was the only incident
of note amid hours-long
stretches
of
uneventful
cycling during Stage 6, which
was won with ease by German
sprinter Marcel Kittel.
“There was a bit of wind
and the parasol took off and
ended up in the road,” said
Froome, who had to veer out
of the way. “That’s the Tour.”
Otherwise, Froome said,
he spent the day chatting with
other riders and admiring the
views as the peloton rode
into champagne country
and through Colombey-les-
Deux-Eglises, the hometown
of France’s wartime hero
and former president, Gen.
Charles de Gaulle.
“That’s the most relaxing
day in the Tour I’ve ever

The pack is pictured through the wheels of the spare bicycles on the roof of the team cars during the sixth stage
of the Tour de France cycling race over 216 kilometers (134 miles) with start in Vesoul and finish in Troyes, France,
Thursday, July 6, 2017.
had,” Froome said after five
hours in the saddle. “I actu-
ally quite enjoy these long
days.”
At the conclusion of the
mostly flat 216-kilometer
(134-mile) leg from Vesoul
to Troyes — the race’s
second-longest stage —
Kittel had little trouble in
the sprint finish, with Peter
Sagan and Mark Cavendish
both no longer in the race.
As the other contenders
bunched together on the
right side of the road, Kittel
burst forward around them
on the left and easily created
a comfortable gap allowing
him to celebrate as he crossed
the line.
It was Kittel’s second
victory in this year’s race
and 11th overall in his Tour
career.
“I was really confident
in my team,” Kittel said. “I
was also really confident in
myself today. There was just
a moment when I broke free
and started to go ahead.”
Stage 4 winner Arnaud
Demare finished second and
Andre Greipel was third.
Sagan, the world cham-
pion, was disqualified for
elbowing Cavendish to the
ground two days ago. The
fall resulted in Cavendish,
who has 30 Tour wins, aban-
doning the race with a broken
shoulder.
Kittel said the absence of
Cavendish and Sagan has
altered the racing in that their
teams are no longer battling
out the sprint finishes.
He was repeatedly asked
after his win about their
absence.
“It’s a bit sad that it’s all
about this decision,” he said.
“The level that we have here
for the sprints is still very,
very high.”
A three-man breakaway
rode out front for most of
the stage. Perrig Quemeneur,
Frederik
Backaert
and
Vegard Stake Laengen were
caught by the peloton with 3
kilometers to go.
Froome remained 12
seconds ahead of Sky team-
mate Geraint Thomas and 14
seconds ahead of Fabio Aru
of Italy.
Richie Porte in fifth place
overall and other riders
eyeing victory in Paris on
July 23 were simply pleased
to get the long, hot stage over
without incident.
“It was such a long day.
Probably, you know, could
have had the same result with
half the distance but it’s a
nice one to get done,” Porte
said.
On such days, Porte said,
“there’s nothing to gain but
there’s so much to lose. ... It
was quite a frantic finish.”
The Tour remains in
Troyes for the start of Stage 7
on Friday, a 213.5-kilometer
(133-mile) leg that again sets
up well for sprinters with a
finish in the Burgundy wine
town of Nuits-Saint-Georges.
Friday is “another long
day and I think the aim of
that is just to sap the energy
a bit,” Porte said. “They sure
are long days.”
Golf
Love shoots 63, trails Munoz by two strokes at Greenbrier Classic
Associated Press
Rick Barbero/The Register-Herald via AP
Davis Love lll chips in for birdie on the 17th hole during
the first round of the Greenbrier Classic golf tourna-
ment, Thursday in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va.
WHITE
SULPHUR
SPRINGS, W.Va. — Davis
Love III can still get some
solid work done in a PGA
Tour event.
Heading into the World
Golf Hall of Fame in
September, the 53-year-old
Love shot a 7-under 63 on
Thursday in The Greenbrier
Classic, leaving him two
strokes behind first-round
leader Sebastian Munoz.
Love is looking for his
first win since the 2015
Wyndham Championship,
which made him the third-
oldest winner in PGA Tour
history. He would be the
oldest if he wins in West
Virginia.
Slowed this year by a bad
back and a broken collar-
bone sustained in a January
snowboarding accident in
Sun Valley, Idaho, Love took
advantage of a course soft-
ened by overnight rain for his
best round of the season. He
birdied four of his first five
holes in the morning round
on Old White, the course
that was reconstructed after
deadly floods forced the
cancellation of last year’s
tournament.
His son, Davis Love IV,
also is in the field, receiving
a sponsor exemption. It’s the
second time they are playing
the same tournament; the
other was the RSM Classic
two years ago. The elder
Love served as his son’s
caddie in the U.S. Open last
month.
“I’ve been working real
hard the last couple of weeks
on trying to fix my swing to
kind of swing around a stiff
back and a stiff hip,” the
elder Love said. “I’ve given
up on hitting it a long way.
I’m just saying I’ve got to
hit it straight, and this is the
perfect golf course for me to
get it in the fairway. A lot of
hard work is kind of starting
to pay off.”
Munoz, a 24-year-old
Colombian, was boosted by
five birdies on the back nine
for a 61.
Defending
champion
Danny Lee was at 64 along
with David Lingmerth,
Ben Martin, rookie Xander
Schauffele, and Canadians
Graham DeLaet and Nick
Taylor.
Players were allowed to
lift and clean their golf balls
in the fairway because of
the wet conditions. It took a
full year after the June 2016
floods that killed 23 state-
wide to get Old White back
to playing conditions.
“To get anything back
in order out there would’ve
been an incredible feat,”
Love said. “But what they did
with the renovation, to take
really, really good golf course
with a lot of history and make
it even better, the redesign is
incredible. The players are
just raving about it.”
Munoz is looking for his
first top 10. His best finish
is a tie for 27th at the Texas
Open.
The PGA Tour rookie was
6 under through 10 holes.
He missed a short birdie
putt on the par-5 12th and
bogeyed the par-4 13th after
his approach shot found the
greenside rough. He then
took charge with birdies on
the next four holes.
Phil Mickelson shot 67
in his first tournament since
parting ways with his caddie
of 25 years, Jim “Bones”
Mackay. Mickelson’s brother,
Tim Mickelson, is his caddie
for the rest of the year.
“I think any time you have
a change of environment it
brings about a new energy,”
Phil Mickelson said. “But
more than that, Tim is one
my favorite people to be
around. We really had a lot of
fun together today.”
Mickelson missed the cut
in his three other Greenbrier
Classic appearances and
he hit some erratic shots
Thursday, including striking
a fan in the head on his
approach to the par-4 11th.
Lingmerth is looking to
atone for a collapse last week
in the Quicken Loans Invita-
tional. The Swede led after
each of the first three rounds
but shot 3 over in each round
on the weekend to tie for
fifth, along with Martin.
“I’m not going to dwell
on it too much,” Lingmerth
said. “A nice little start today.
I didn’t really have my best
stuff. I never really got into
trouble. I gave myself a
couple of opportunities.”
