Årets første T-Mobile sejr en realitet

null6. og næstsidste etape i etapeløbet Tour of California endte i en massespurt. Efter flere angreb, så lykkedes det feltet at få samlet tropperne og etapen blev afgjort i en massespurt.

6. etape blev kørt fra Santa Barbara til Thousand Oaks over 143.7 km. Etapen blev præget af få udbrud. I finalen var alle udbrud hentet og Team CSC satte sig frem for at køre Stuart O'Grady frem til spurten. Lars Bak og Fabian Cancellara gjorde et godt arbejde, men alligevel blev det danske hold snydt i spurten, da T-Mobiles Olaf Pollack vandt spurten foran Riccardo Ricco (Saunier Duval) og Freddy Rodriguez (Davitamon Lotto).

Stuart O'Grady blev nummer 9 i spurten. Dave Zabriskie og Bobby Julich forsvarede podiepladserne, imens løbet fortsat føres af Floyd Landis.
