Winning breakaway by Quinn Simmons 1500 meters from the finish in the sixth and penultimate stage of the Volta a Catalunya, from Berga to Berga over 146 kilometers. The resurgent American from Lidl Trek surprises the peloton with one of his characteristic attacks and takes the victory by a whisker over Czech Pavel Bittner (Team Picnic PostNL), who in the meantime had launched the chase. New Zealand's Corbin Strong from Israel-Premier Tech completes the podium in third place. Seventh place for our Andrea Vendrame, always attentive near the front of the group. Overall classification remains unchanged with Ayuso still in the leader's jersey. Tomorrow's finale in Barcelona.
