Saturday, March 29: Stage 6, El Vendrell - Vilanova I La Geltru, 162 km

Winner's average speed: 40.715 km/hr

The Race: Though the day's stage had some hot racing, the only ascent on the road to Vilanova didn't affect the general classification. Joaquin Rodriguez still leads Alberto Contador by just four seconds.

Nine riders successfully escaped the peloton: Stef Clement (BEL), Rudy Molard (COF), Pieter Serry (OPQ), Jens Voigt (TFR), Marek Rutkiewicz (CCC), Antonio Piedra (CJR), Pierre Rolland (EUC), Damien Howson (OGE), Nico Sijmens (WGG).

After members of the break repeatedly attacked each other, stage winner Stef Clement left the powerful break with two kilometers to go and time trialed to the finish.
