Domina Vacanze’s Maxim Iglinsky won the 171.3km sixth stage of the Tour of Germany from Friedrichshafen to Singen on Saturday.

The 24-year-old Kazakh won a frantic sprint involving nine riders, finishing ahead of Belgian Jurgen van der Broeck (Discovery Channel) and Italian Alessandro Ballan (Lampre-Caffita).

Levi Leipheimer (Gerolsteiner), sixth in this year's Tour de France, retains the yellow jersey with an 18-second lead over teammate Georg Totschnig of Austria.

Germany's Jan Ullrich (T-Mobile) is third in the standings, 56 seconds behind Leipheimer.

Sunday's seventh stage is a 177.7km run from Singen to Feldberg, and Ullrich – who knows the route well - believes he will have an edge over his competitors.

"The next stage is important and it is an old training route of mine," said Ullrich. "I know every inch of the road."
