Jussi Veikkanen of Française des Jeux won the sprint of an escape group to win the sixth stage of the Deutschland Tour ahead of Maxim Iglinsky (Astana) and Thierry Hupond of Skil-Shimano. There was no change in the overall rankings.

The 11-man strong group was away for nearly 100km and was able to hold its lead all the way to the end, finishing two minutes ahead of the peloton. Two Gerolsteiner riders, Thomas Fothen and Robert Förster, finished two seconds ahead of the Columbia-led field.

"I couldn't believe it, 25km before the finish, that we would come through," said Veikkanen, who took his second season victory. "We had a very strong headwind and it was very difficult. This is the best day of my career."

After the stage, a controversy between Gerdemann and the Finn erupted. Gerdemann claimed that he let the escape go because Veikkanen told Gerdemann he was 10 minutes down in GC, and called Veikkanen "a liar", because he was only 5'30 minutes back. The Finn claimed he told Gerdemann the correct time difference.

Like many of the prevous stages, this stage got off to a fast and nervous start. Still it took over 70km before the breakaway group of the day formed. Jussi Veikkanen (Française des Jeux), David Cañada (Scott-American Beef), David Loosli (Lampre), Pablo Lastras Garcia (Caisse d'Espargne), Kjell Carlström (Liquigas), Thierry Hupond (Skil-Shimano), Matthias Russ (Gerolsteiner), Rémi Pauriol (Credit Agricole), Maxim Iglinskiy (Astana), Jon Bru Pascal (Euskaltel) and Christophe Mengin (Française des Jeux) made up the group.

CSC's Jens Voigt decided somewhat later to try and join them, bu was never able to get within more than a minute behind the group, and he ultimately gave up on the idea. He fell back into the Team Columbia-led peloton, which at that point was 3'25 minutes back.

The group's lead never got much bigger, but by the time Columbia gave chase, it was too late to catch them. Columbia rode for its sprinters, as did Silence-Lotto, but in vain. The field crossed the finish line about two minutes behind the leading group.
