Russian rider Timofey Kritskiy won the 146km sixth stage from Chateau-Salins to Gérardmer, just ahead of new leader Romain Sicard of France, in a race that features young talent and is contested by national teams.
Sicard started the day just one second behind compatriot Julién Bérard, who fell from first to fourth at 2:12 back.
Van Garderen attacked to finish third in the stage at 22 seconds in arrears and Stetina crossed the line seventh at 36 seconds adrift.
Van Garderen slots into third overall at 1:58 back and Stetina into sixth at 2:19 back.
The Avenir tour continues Friday with the 182.5km seventh stage from Gérardmer to Ornans. The hilly route features three third-category and one fourth-category climbs in the first 60km to spring breakaways. Two more rated climbs are sprinkled along the course before the final fourth-category, just ahead of a twisting, 8km descent to the line.
