Tour of Germany - Stage 6

Where in the hell did Jens Voigt(CSC) find those climbing legs? I would like to get me a set. A rider known for his breakaways and attacks but not exactly for his climbing was able to hang with the "climbers" today. Not only did he hang with them but was able to counter an attack by Leipheimer(Gerolsteiner) in the last 500m to take the stage win and hold onto the yellow jersey.

The final GC standings will be decided in tomorrows individual time trial.
