Alejandro Valverde will be the last man off in the stage 6 Vuelta Ciclista al Pais Vasco time trial with the Movistar rider aiming to secure overall victory. With the top-ten all within 22 seconds of each other, the 27.7km time trial from Eibar to Eibar is set to shake up the GC and decide the overall winner. Valverde moved into the leader's yellow jersey after winning stage 5.

Challenging Valverde for the overall title will be Rigoberto Uran (Cannondale-Drapac), Romain Bardet (AG2R La Mondiale), Louis Meintjes (UAE Team Emirates) and Michael Woods (Cannondale-Drapac) who are all tied on time with the Spaniard.
