Vos Doubles – 21st Giro Donne, Stage 6

It seems that as dominating as Ina Yoko Teutenberg (HTC-Columbia) was in the first four days of the 21st Giro Donne, Marianne Vos (Netherlands) has been in the past two.

Vos would take her second stage in as many days, winning the 116.7 km Stage 6 from Gallarate to Arcisate. Judith Arndt (HTC-Columbia) finished in second and Russian Olga Zabelinskaya (Safi - Pasta Zara) in third. With the win, Vos retained her overall race lead and the accompanying maglia rosa.
