Catalunya 6 : Haimar still 3rd in general

It was the last big chance for Haimar to take some seconds back on Pauriol and Jufre in the 6th stage of the Volta a Catalunya, but he didn't take them. There was an early break with Coppel, Vorganov, Quinziato, Velits and our Egoi Martinez but they never got more than five minutes from the peloton. There it was Credit Agricole for Pauriol and Hushovd that made the pace and the break was caught at 25 kilometres to go. In the sprint it was Chicchi who won in front of Duque and Zberg. First Euskaltel was Haimar on a 26th place.
