Astana have come to the front to work with BMC and soon the gap, and the rain come down quickly.

  • Tom Danielson has unleashed a vicious attack within the first kilometer as they climb the hill to Ft. Lewis College...
  • The peloton is strung out in pursuit of the early attack as they pass the Durango Silverton steam locomotive.
  • To no ones surprise, it is Jens Voigt at the pointed end of the escape.
  • The peloton turns onto the beginning of the first KoM...
  • The skies ahead look dark and forboding... for the escape? or for the catch?
  • Team Type 1 have moved to the front and are setting the pace along with Spidertech... they're holding the gap at around 5 minutes.
  • The escape has three Garmin Sharp riders; Zabriskie and Stetina are with Danielson.
  • Danielson continues to press the escape's advantage, but they'll soon be joined another group...,
  • Near the first KoM - Joshua Atkins is in the 22 man escape...
  • As the peloton ramps up the pace to reel in the break, BMC discuss tactics as Taylor Phinney leads the pursuit...
  • The escape is still looking strong as the sun breaks through the overcast skies...
  • Astana have come to the front to work with BMC and soon the gap, and the rain come down quickly.
  • George Hincaie, in his last race as a professional, sure wasn't riding like a soon to be retiree in the break.
  • Danielson has lifted the pace again on Lizard Head Pass; Nibali has accellerated and is bringing Stetina along with him.
  • Nibali, Stetina and Beltran will soon bridge back up to Danielson.
