Robert Radosz of Intel - Action took over the general classification in stage six of the Tour of Hainan, in China. The Polish rider finished second to stage winner Roman Klimov of the Russian National Team.
How it unfolded
It seemed to be the decisive stage for the general classification. The time differences were still small, and with a climb of the second category after 53 kilometres and the top of a first category climb at only 10 kilometres decent from the finish, this was a stage for climbers.
The scenery at this part of the island what different from what were seen before. The high mountains were in the distance as the riders went over smaller hills and climbs through the green tropical forests. Enthusiastic crowds in the villages were sometimes 10 deep, to view, wave their arms and scream at the Tour of Hainan passing by.
The beginning of the stage saw a lot of break-away attempts. After about 20 kilometres, a group of eight riders took a maximum advantage of 2'45". It was the Discovery Channel Marco Polo Team with tour leader Sergey Kudentsov who chased together with the Russian National Team. At the bottom of the first climb there was only 45 seconds left. It was Giant's Ghader Mizbani who was the first to bridge over and take the mountain points at the top.

Again there were many riders who tried to get away before the big climb near the finish. Kazakh Vadim Vdovinov was the most successful by taking over two minutes. However, there were several teams who sent riders to the front of the peloton to close the gap.
Although more then 10 riders worked together, they gained only seconds on brave Vdovinov. At the start of the climb he still has almost one minute. The first five kilometres were going up steady, but then there were nine kilometres with steep parts especially towards the top.
Vdovinov was caught, and it was Russian Roman Klimov who took off and built a 45 second lead. Tour leader Sergey Kudentsov from the Discovery Channel Marco Polo Team fought for his yellow jersey. He could stay with what was left over from the peloton until less then four kilometres before the top.
At the finish he was four minutes back and lost the lead. Klimov went first into the curvy decent to the finish in Wuzishan. A group of 18 riders followed at 43 seconds with Hong Kong rider Tang Wang Yip and Sergey Firsanov taking the mountain points. Klimov managed to keep 11 seconds at the finish. However, it was Robert Radosz from Intel Action who attacked near the finish to finish the stage second and take over the yellow jersey.
