The peloton chases on the technical descent.

AToCstage 8

  • As expected, the attacks started early, with Cervelo animating things from the off...
  • The next attack came from Kelly Benefits and Jelly Belly - trying to gets some glory for their American sponsors, but to no avail...
  • Cancellara helped bring that attack back, and continued to keep the pressure on as they began the first of four trips up "Rock Store" climb.
  • Rollin was the next to go from Cervelo, would this one stick?
  • Now Robbie Hunter gives it a go one the early stages of the climb.
  • but soon the peloton is back together and Popopvych is now setting the pace.
  • Rollin and Zajicek are now trying to get away, but not on a penny farthing...
  • Rollin and Zajicek have a few seconds on the pack as they take the hairpin on Mullholand Highway...

  • The two escapees were abosorbed near the top of the KOM - now Rogers sits comfortably in a lead pack that has grown to about 45 riders on the descent...
  • Hincapie as well has made this early selection. The course has broken the peloton into three groups.
  • The Garmin marching orders on the day were to go hard and to take it to the peloton.
  • Pujols and Rabou have attacked on the steep part of the climb... the Americans are trying to rival the tifosi it seems...
  • The peloton chases on the technical descent.
  • In the third group, the riders seem pretty relaxed. Almost half the field will abandon or not make the time cut today on this brutal final stage.
