Spaniard Joaquin Rodriguez of the Katusha team won the sixth stage of the Tirreno-Adriatico cycling race over 181km around Offida on Monday. Chris Horner of RadioShack holds the overall leader’s jersey ahead of the final stage on Tuesday when he will take a 5-second lead over Czech Roman Kreuziger and 6sec over Italian Vincenzo Nibali into a 9.3km time trial. As all three riders are relatively strong time triallists, it looks to be a three-way battle to succeed Cadel Evans of Australia as the race champion.
