Rabobank duo take off

The sixth stage from Zweibrücken to Landau was an impressive show from Erik Dekker and Marc Wauters, the two top riders from tonly division I team in the race.

At the sprint in Leimen the pair was part of an eight man break but in the climb to Totenkopf the pair attacked and had a 3.28 gap at the finish. Thanks to bonus Wauters has a three second lead on Dekker before the last stage.
