Tour de Georgia 2006



Floyd Landis claimed victory in the 2006 Tour de Georgia today. He led last year's winner Tom Danielson and Yaroslav Popovych. The grand finale of the Tour de Georgia came down to a field sprint after 118.2 miles/190.2 km and six furious circuits in historic Alpharetta, won by Juan Jose “JJ” Haedo of Argentina.

We usually try to see the last stage's finish, since it is only two miles away from our home. The Tour de Georgia is the only US race that attracts pro-tour teams such as Discovery Channel, CSC, Phonak, Quickstep, and Lotto. They compete with fancy American teams like Jelly Belly and Jittery Joe's Zero Gravity.

Greg and Sammy love the excitement. Most of all they liked a BMX biking demonstration, though they thought the road race was sweet too.
