Caja Rural’s Pello Bilbao, claimed stage 6 of this year’s Tour of Turkey today, after finishing just 3 seconds ahead of Astana’s Miguel Angel Lopez, in a mountain top finish in Selcuk – while his teammate, Heiner Parra, rounded out the podium in third place.
Meanwhile, Kristijan Durasek (Lampre-Merida) finished 18 seconds behind the leaders in sixth place, thus moving the Lampre rider up into first place in the overall general classification – 21 seconds ahead of Davide Rebellin (CCC Sprandi-Polkowice), who previously led the race since winning stage 3 on Tuesday.
Rebellin now sits in second place, at 1:01 behind the winner, after cracking during the final kilometer of today’s stage, while Bretagne-Séché Environnement’s Eduardo Sepulveda is in third.
