Simon Gerrans surprised as he shot out of the final corner ahead of the finish line to rocket past the sprinters for victory on stage six of Volta a Catalunya. Taking his second win of the season, the 11th for ORICA-GreenEDGE, Gerrans was part of a 40-strong group that formed over the slopes of the second category Alt de Lilla.
"I'm really happy with the stage win," said Gerrans. "It was a huge team effort today. Trav [Travis Meyer], Christian [Meier], Sam [Bewley] and Wes [Wesley Sulzberger] did a huge amount of work in the first couple of hours to rquzc sjn rqxlwmsyi. Bivi cct a xcbndt gwjvmsvxu cim.
