Tour de Georgia -USA
Report courtesy Saturn

Today's race covered 202 kilometers across the undulating Georgian countryside took the riders from Macon to Columbus and featured two opportunities to gain sprint points, at Thomaston (74.8 km) and Warm Springs (123 km). However, after the distance covered, the crowds were delighted with a final field sprint, and it was Moreno Dibiase (Formaggi Pinzolo Fiave') emerging victorious from the peloton, ahead of Fred Rodriguez (Vini Caldirola-Sidermec) and Henk Vogels (Navigators). With his third place, Vogels held on to first in the general classification going into Stage 3.

After Saturn's Chris Horner captured the early time bonus, putting him in the lead should Vogels not gain the time back in the finish, the race got exciting when a three man break containing Phil Zajicek (Saturn), Eric Saunders (Ofoto-Lombardi Sports), and Troy White (Sierra Nevada-Clif Bar) gained enough of a lead to put Zajicek in the virtual leader's jersey on the road. Uncomfortable with the time the group was gaining, the Navigators team chased it down bringing the group back together. Coming into the finish it was clearly going to be a bunch gallop for the final sprint.

Saturn's Chris Horner suffered an unfortunate flat on the section of red brick pave in the last kilometer, taking him out of the mix for the final sprint and some of the valuable time bonuses up for grabs. Horner's overall placing was not jeopardized as he flatted in the final kilometer and was therefore awarded same time as the group.

The final sprint was handily won by Di Biase with Fred Rodriguez in second and Henk Vogels in third. The overall classification looks similar to that of yesterday, however, Vogels has managed to edge a bit more time away from Nathan O'Neill and Horner, sitting in second and third, respectively. Their Saturn Teammates Zajicek and Eric Wohlberg sit in fifth and sixth as well. Horner still leads the King of the Mountain competition.
