The escape managed to hold off the field and Rory Sutherland has won up Flagstaff to take stage 6!

  • Golden has rolled out the welcome wagon again for the USA Pro Challenge...
  • They've even lined up a new team for the race; though, since the frames are not UCI approved, they'll not start today...
  • Levi rolls to the sign-in stage... most think he'll bide his time and save energy for the TT tomorrow...
  • Tejay sure hopes that is the plan; he's hoping to still be in yellow for tomorrows race against the clock.
  • There is a fourteen man escape as the race heads up Boulder Canyon... yet again, the timeless Jens Voigt has made the break.
  • The BMC led peloton comes through the canyon about five and a half minutes later.
  • The escape managed to hold off the field and Rory Sutherland has won up Flagstaff to take stage 6!
  • Jens has hung on as well... attacking on Lee Hill before the final KoM and on the slopes of Flagstaff, he's managed to take third place on the day - his second podium of the week! He's won the King of the Mountains classification - at age 40!
  • Levi has attacked as well - he's put time into Tejay, but the question is how much?
  • It is Vande Velde who is next to cross the line, followed by the best young rider - Joe Dombrowski of Bontrager LIVESTRONG. Christian now sits in second place, just 9 seconds behind Leipheimer.
  • Tejay crosses 29 seconds adrift of Leipheimer - so he now sits in third, 21 seconds behind Levi.
  • Levi was all smiles as he accepted the yellow leader's jersey - it all comes down to the race against the clock tomorrow!
