Marczyński won the race's sixth, eastern-Spanish 204.4-kilometre leg, from Villarreal to Sagunto, beating fellow Pole Paweł Poljański to the finish line.

"Phenomenal, it's an incredible feeling. I came here really wanting to win a stage. I didn't think it would happen so soon," Marczynski said, according to cyclingnews.com.

Spaniard Enric Mas came third, while Chris Froome held on to the leader's red jersey.
