The plan was to send Colin with Bernard up Flagstaff with the warmup jackets for the boys to wear on the descent back to the RV after the race. Bernard ran the feed station (and was on TV yet again today - we are calling him the meia whore) and was to stop at the Team area and pick up Colin and jackets.
Unbeknownst to him, the convoy back from the Feed zone came out 14 blocks above us. And by above, I mean a nasty climb up to Chautauqua. Luckily, we scrambled and bummed a ride wiht the TT1 guys who found themselves in the same situation. Colin jumped in with Bernard, and I did the run back down the hill (much easier) and am now watching the end on the Tour Tracker in the RV.
Pretty exciting stage! The whole peloton fell apart on Left Hand/Lee Hill. BMC fell off the front, and Garmin is starting to shape up. This bodes well for Levi - he just has to stay in the largest lead group he can hang onto, then KICK IT up Flagstaff!
