Stage 6 - August 17: Vittel - La Bresse, 131.3 km

Russian hat-trick

Svetlana Bubnenkova resumed her winning ways on stage six of the Route de France, taking the uphill sprint into La Bresse from a select group which formed over the top of the final climb, the Col du Brabant, with just 3.5 kilometres to go. Overall classification leader Amber Neben (US National Team) held on to the tough Russian's wheel, only giving up two seconds to Bubnenkova in the final sprint. Neben leads the triple stage winner by 1'04". Frenchwoman Maryline Salvetat was third, while Italian champion Fabiana Luperini came in with Neben's team-mate Mara Abbott just 28 seconds behind the winner.

Abbott's ride pulls her closer to the lead of the young rider's competition, where she sits in second place just five seconds behind German Stephanie Pohl (Getranke-Hoffmann). Bubnenkova has wrapped up the mountains classification - with just one classified climb remaining, it is impossible for anyone to overtake her commanding 44 point lead in that competition.

Neben looks set to take the overall classification on Saturday's final stage into Vittel, which is a rolling 113 kilometre route without any major climbs.
