< < < 12/05/2006 - Third pack sprint, third stage win to ROBBIE at the Giro !!! Stage 6 of the Giro, between Busseto and Forli, distance 227 km. This rather flat stage was quite monotonous. Three men broke away from the peloton after only 6 km, and made it nearly up to the finish. The peloton, led by a T-Mobile / Davitamon-Lotto, began to reduce the gap in the second half of the distance. The three leaders rode 205 km ahead of the pack, but were caught with 15 kilometres to go. And the following pack sprint saw the third stage win of Robbie in the 2006 Giro !!! Germany's Olaf Pollack (T-Mobile) and Lithuania's Thomas Vaitkus (Ag2R) were Robbie’s main contenders ! Olaf Pollack grabs the pink jersey from his team mate Gonchar, and Robbie increases his lead at the points classification. All sorts of congrats !!!
