Stage 6 Notes

   * Australian amateur Robbie McEwen used his considerable track
experience to win the 130 kms sixth stage. The stage finished on a
velodrome in the city of Rennes.

   * "I've done a lot of racing on the track over the years, and I used all
of those skills to my advantage here today," McEwen said.

   * McEwen thanked Australian Institute of Sport teammates Tristan Priem
and Damian McDonald, who chased down breakaways to keep the field intact.

   * After the Vuelta, the Australian team will train at a high-altitude
camp in Arizona to prepare for the Worlds.
