MORE STAGE 6
It was pretty darn chilly this morning so the teams seemed to take their time about getting to the start venue. The mechanics started prepping the bikes and the riders waited until the last minute to dress out and leave the team vehicles. All of the riders seemed happy and I believe it was because the mountain stages were done and it was only a few hours of relatively easy riding to the finish of the race. Remember that if you get any real cool shots of this stage or have a comment to pass on to the peanut gallery please send it to bicycling@coolbicyling.com.
