Catalunya 7 : Haimar ends 6th

Haimar wasn't able to maintain his podium spot in the Volta a Catalunya. In the ultimate stage 5 riders tried to get away but the peloton never let them go. Then 14 riders broke away from the peloton, among them Gorka Verdugo, but no Haimar. From that group Carrasco and Cesar attacked and they sprinted for the victory. Carrasco won and Cesar took the overall victory because the others were placed on 7 seconds and the peloton on 23. Gorka Verdugo became 13th and became 10th overall. Haimar Zubeldia fell back to a 6th place after he lost 23 seconds on Cesar.
