 | | SIERRA DE LA PANDERA, Spain (Reuters) -- Spaniard Roberto Heras struck an important blow in his bid for a second Tour of Spain victory in three years when he took a solo win on the sixth stage on Thursday. |
 | | Although fellow-climber and compatriot Oscar Sevilla, second in the 2001 Vuelta, took the overall lead, Heras was clearly the strongest on the race's second consecutive mountain top finish. |
 | | Four kilometres from the line, on the Pandera's steepest section, an 18 percent gradient, Heras took off from the group of five in search of his first victory since the Tour of Catalonia in June. |
