Vingegaard nears Tour of Catalonia victory with stage six win

The race favourite accelerated away from the lead group with just over two kilometres to ride to clinch back-to-back stage triumphs in the Pyrenees mountains. Danish Visma-Lease a Bike rider Vingegaard, who dominated at Paris-Nice earlier in March, finished 10 seconds ahead of Lenny Martinez and Florian Lipowitz, who finished second and third respectively. Vingegaard holds a provisional 1 minute 22s lead overall on Martinez, while Lipowitz is third and a further eight seconds behind the two-time Tour de France winner.
