From DQS press release: Zdenek Stybar created a thing of beauty on the penultimate stage of the Argentinean race, which rolled out from the Autodromo Villicum and saw the peloton take on 170 uncomplicated kilometers before returning on the anti-clockwise 4km-long motorsports circuit. The track is a high-speed one featuring 19 bends, and it was on one of these that the 34-year-old Czech sprang out of the pack and put in a huge acceleration, catching the others off guard and opening a hefty gap in the blink of an eye. This savvy old-school move, which came with just 500 meters to go, left the sprinters’ teams incapable of responding as the first Czech rider in history to win a cobbled classic powered to the finish line, where he held off the charge of Juan Sebastian Molano (UAE Team Emirates) and Rudy Barbier (Israel Start-Up Nation), thus opening his 2020 account in style. “Before the start, we were training here and we thought about doing something different, so in the end we decided to anticipate the sprint. I’m glad that the team had confidence in me and I could pull it off. It’s my first time here in Argentina and at the beginning of the season you never know what your condition is, so this win is really nice and gives me a big morale-boost. Now we have one more stage and we are motivated to end on a high note, trying with Alvaro for the victory and securing Remco’s jersey”, Zdenek explained after the ambush that netted his 18th career win. | 
Zdeněk ŠTYBAR (CZE/DECEUNINCK - QUICK-STEP) wins Stage 6 in 3:56:51, 2nd Juan Sebastian MOLANO BENAVIDES (COL/UAE TEAM EMIRATES), 3rd Rudy BARBIER (FRA/ISRAEL START - UP NATION), 4th Manuel BELLETTI (ITA/ANDRONI GIOCATTOLI - SIDERMEC), 5th Daniel OSS (ITA/BORA - HANSGROHE) and 6th Peter SAGAN (SVK/BORA - HANSGROHE) | 
2nd Juan Sebastian MOLANO BENAVIDES (COL/UAE TEAM EMIRATES): ” With the rise towards the finish we knew there was the chance of attacks. The team was well positioned for the finish. I knew it would suit me and the legs felt really good today for the sprint but I couldn’t come around Stybar on the line.” | 
With one final flat stage remaining and a 33s lead, Remco Evenepoel (BEL - Deceuninck - Quick Step) should have the overall win in the bag |

Gaviria : “Today was a short fast stage. Bohli controlled the breakaway from the beginning, as he has done all week. Then the lead-out train came together well in the end and I had really good legs for the sprint so it was the perfect way to finish the week. To start the season like this is great for the team motivation and we hope to continue this way.” |

I am proud to win this race and be the youngest rider to sew up the general classification at the Vuelta a San Juan. It’s an amazing place, with superb fans, and it’s always a pleasure to be here, that’s why I hope to return in the future”, a beyond excited Evenepoel said at the press conference. |
