MORE STAGE 1

       The riders come through for the final lap and it is time to take the course and settle into the race.  As they head towards Macon the tour entourage run for their vehicles and head towards the finish.  Chasing the race is an exciting but challenging deal.  It is funny how you keep leapfrogging each other and how quickly you learn to recognize each others vehicles.

THE RIDERS COME THROUGH AGAIN
