After already showing his excellent form on Friday, Iban Mayo was able to prove that he is back on track for the upcoming Tour de France by taking the victory in Saturday's stage six to La Toussuire. Attacking his breakaway companion Alejandro Valverde (Illes Balears) with only a few kilometres to go on the final climb of the day, the Basque Euskaltel rider truly cheered when he passed the finish line. Valverde saved his advantage over the three chasers Christophe Moreau (AG2R), Leonardo Piepoli (Saunier Duval) and overall leader Levi Leipheimer (Gerolsteiner) to come second.
