PezCycling News | Preview: Tour de Georgia 2006
Jared Gruber at PezCycling News offers his look at this year's race. He's penciled in Landis 1st, Danielson 2nd, Zabriskie 3rd.
He notes that the time trial this year is a monster, at almost 40 kilometers with a healthy climb in the middle, and thinks that gives Landis the edge.
Gruber also looks at the tactical implications of the changes race organizers made to Friday and Saturday's mountain stages, cutting down the climbing in each, but spicing up Saturday's queen stage by coming over Hogpen Gap by the shorter, steeper route. On the race profile, it looks almost like that climb curves back on itself!
