Sylvian Georges took off in a break away and ended up being all by himself. He had help to begin with, but lost it shortly after. What resulted was a win in which Georges lead the Stage 6 of the Tour of California all but about 2 miles. A lone breakaway usually doesn't work but the Frenchman got the win by 28 seconds over the charging peloton at the end. This stage win didn't change the overall standings and the riders in contention were all in the peloton.
Today is the toughest mountain stage. Looking at the map that was shown at the end of yesterdays stage makes stage 6 look like nothing. Two category 2 climbs before for a long, huge climb to the finish will distinguish the climbers from the sprinters today. Most experts believe Chris Horner will try something today to get himself back in position for the win. Today's Stage 7 of the Tour of California will make you tired just watching it.
