I caught another good shot of Phil this year on Nick-a-Jack. Although, he wasn't quite panting as hard as he was last year.

More from atop Lookout Mountain. I think he made a few photographers cry with this stunt... (*cough...Frank...*cough)...

Here's another shot of Levi on the ITT. Yes, he won the stage.

This is probably my favorite shot that I've found from what I took on Stage 4 and 5 so far. Granted, I took more than 1300 shots and have yet to sort through them all.

I went down to Centennial Olympic Park a little earlier today and scoped out the setup for tomorrow. This really is an excellent venue for a stage of the Tour de Georgia. I'm a little surprised about the lack of local promotion though. I've been all over Atlanta today and haven't seen the first hint of TDG marketing. You'd think for a race that is struggling to stay alive, it would promote this great venue IN THE VENUE. I guess we'll see what the crowd looks like tomorrow.

By the way, I'm pulling for George to take the stage. ; )

Shot with a Canon Rebel XT and Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 EX DG HSM; 1/500s @ f/3.2 and ISO 100. 88mm focal length.

Levi on Nick-a-Jack

Levi whipped by us on Nick-a-Jack and was dancing on the pedals at this first switchback. Wasn't too crowded down here but the top switchback was crazy crowded.
