Stage 6 - May 23: Torredembarra - Barcelona, 150.5km
Hushovd thunders to second stage win
Denied yesterday by an unexpectedly speedy Nikolay Trusov, Cervelo's Thor Hushovd made sure he got the sprint right on Saturday's stage six into Barcelona. The Norwegian was challenged by Fabio Sabatini (Liquigas) and Greg Henderson (Columbia-Highroad), with stage two winner Matti Breschel (Saxo Bank) in fourth.
The situation in the general classification remained unchanged, with Alejandro Valverde maintaining his 15 second lead over Garmin-Slipstream's Daniel Martin. Haimar Zubeldia (Astana) is in third at 22 seconds, and both have little chance of getting time on the Caisse d'Eparnge man on the final stage which should once again favour the sprinters.
