We are just defending this 6th place...
STAGE 6
6kms to 2nd climb and still no breaks, Movistar and RadioShack control all attacks...
With 2nd climb already done and before the big descent,  B.Leukemans attacks...  M.Docker,  R.Gesink and  M.Elmiger try to get away too...
70kms to go, for  M.De Maar it´s already the 3rd failled attack..cyanide doesn´t let us go...
52kms.... break group reach 3rd climb... 3´40"gap to the pack...
4th climb, 33kms to go.... Movistar and RadioShack make the pace behind... 3´37"gap..
Only 5kms for B.Leukemans and R.Gesink... peloton is very close..
Last km... both riders still in front... K.Reus is in a great position but almost empty.....peloton splits..
B.Leukemans wins... he was great today.. K.Reus finished in this 44 riders peloton with some top10 riders out of it but once again race directors gave same time... 
STAGE RESULT
GENERAL CLASSIFICATION
KING OF MOUNTAINS
M.De Maar gives a big jump overall...he´s on the fight for the jersey now...

*Thank you all for your feedback
I´m much more happier now knowing you are following....
STAGE 7
12 men in breakaway... they passed 1st Int.sprint with 1´51"gap to peloton... we have 2 riders here, M.De Maar and  C.Jones.Our plan was to win so much KOM pts as we could with De Maar but with -4, he could only get 3pts today...
We jump to 5th climb where breakaway leads with 6´26"gap to the pack... at this point, M.De Maar can´t keep with the break anymore.. C.Jones is gone even earlier after doing lots of work for the break...
2nd and last Int.sprint... 35kms to go, breakaway still with 3´28"gap..
10kms... the pack did a great job getting breakaway back... from us, we only have T.Löwe(+5) and K.Reus (-2) in peloton... Reus is struggling alot to stay inside and to not loose his 6th overall, so all credits to Löwe who´s doing a great protecting...
Last 5kms... race leader  R.Costa launch an attack, no one expected that... no more riders in front..
And that was an attack that brings stage win and solid lead now for him.. great move from R.Costa.... our riders finish with the pack...
STAGE RESULT
GENERAL CLASSIFICATION
One more stage, we hope to have K.Reus in good day form as it will be one hard stage too..

I don't comment often due to my exams and general business, but I follow it everyday
I am not going say how great this is, because I am sure you know it already from the comments above
Keep it up !
