Stage Description
The beginning of high mountains in the  Khangai Mountain Range. The trail becomes easier to pedal with a smother ride compared to the previous stages, but the climbs become definetly more challenging. After crossing a few streams which open the stage, we enter the mountains. A dominant charecteristic of mongolian passes is the complete absence of turns in the road. The routes go right up to the top of the passes, with increasing grades that reach even 29%. Nevertheless it can be ridden also standing up, obviously with very high physical intensity, thanks to the hards surface of the track. 

Day Chronicle
Six Different Winners in First Six Stages

Kona dominated the podium today, with Kris Sneddon winning Stage Six of the 2012 Mongolia Bike Challenge presented by Orbea. Current overall leader, Cory Wallace, came second followed immediately by teammate Barry Wicks. Carter Hovey of Team MBC Racing powered by Orbea-SMP came fourth, dropping Pau Zamora of Buff on the massive finishing climb. Sneddon becomes the sixth winner in six stages that have been completed so far. While things are starting to look similar at the front of the men´s elite pack, a dramatic women´s race is unfolding behind them. Current leader, Elisabeth Adamson of Australia is being challenged in the overall standing by Leisbeth Hessens of Belgium as well as the Mongolian rider, Solongo Tserenlham. Tserenlham won today´s stage and is looking very strong moving into the second half of the race. Tomorrow the MBC moves into the mountains for the ¨Queen´s Stage¨ - 132 kilometers long with 2620 meters of climbing. It is by far the most difficult as well as the most spectacular stage of the race.
