At the Race at Tour of California Stage 6

They didn't catch him!
Finally a breakaway then a lone rider who was in the front for 185km out of 186 km was not caught by the peloton in the last few kilometers, this time he made it across the line. Sylvain Georges showed incredible tenacity. How glorious it was to watch his effort pay off today to take the win in Big Bear. Did you find yourself cheering - go go go! I certainly did.
A few images from the day from the start in Palmdale and the climbs along Angeles Crest. We have collected hundreds, but tomorrow we are riding our bikes up to Mt Baldy, so the rest will be coming soon.
