Tejay Van Garderen didn’t need to do much on Saturday to remain sixth in the Tour de France. Van Garderen did finish in the peloton but all the way back in 80th place but that was enough to maintain his position overall 3:19 back in sixth place after a flat stage that wasn’t going to provide any separation. Peter Stetina moved up a spot to 51st overall while Lawson Craddock fell one to 96th.

Sunday could carry more drama with a 99-mile mountain stage as the Tour de France features seven straight days of racing. After a day of rest the race ends with five final days of racing. There is one time trial, 11 miles in the mountains in stage 18, remaining.

In the Tour de Pologne on Saturday Larry Warbasse finished sixth in the first of two mountain stages as he shot up the standings to seventh overall. Warbasse was 5:12 behind winner Tim Wellens of Belgium who leads the race and is now 5:38 behind overall. Meanwhile Alexey Vermeulen was 76th, his first top 100 finish of the race, and improved to 92nd overall. Sunday will be a 45-mile mountain stage with a 15 mile individual time trial to wrap things up on Monday. There isn’t a ton of territory left for the riders to make their move but Warbasse still has a chance to move up.
