"Rest Day"

Today's stage was theoretically an easy day compared to the rest; although, it did start out with a 16km climb (Hoosier Pass). After the "easy" start, the rest of the day was actually fairly mellow. There was an overwhelming majority of descent to the ending city of Colorado Springs, so the speed was quite fast today. Despite all this, there was still a bit of tension due to some variable winds. We avoided any trouble though with good positioning and heads up riding. Oliver got into the break today and made a valiant effort, but he was caught in the last 10km of the race as one of the last couple riders left. At the end, Farrar won the stage, and we kept our gc places status quo. Tomorrow's stage is the real decider. We are going to definitely see some fireworks, and perhaps RSNT will try to be part of them...
