Stage 6 was characterized by continuous attacks and very fast riding. In the end no breakaway was able to stay away and the stage ended in a very fast sprint finish taken by Francesco Chicchi of Liquigas-Cannondale.
Dave Zabriskie retained yellow and I don't think I've ever heard a rider more deliriously happy as Zabriskie was in the post-race press conference.
