Former Colombian mountain bike champion, Cesar Grajales was the climbing revelation at the 2004 Tour de Georgia as he made an audacious attack on the yellow jersey Lance Armstrong, the domestic favourite Chris Horner (Webcor) and the CSC dynamic duo of Bobby Julich and Jens Voigt. Local to the area, Grajales, who is on the small Jittery Joe's team, has trained on the climb twice per week and was more than ready for the challenge on the beautiful Appalachian mountains of north-eastern Georgia.

Grajales' win catapulted him into sixth place in the general classification and with only a sprinter's stage remaining, it looks like the bean team boy will be the story of the race. Jittery Joe's Director Sportif, Micah Rice has been grooming Grajales for the big time ever since he showed his stuff on Fillmore Street at the T-Mobile International last year and won the king of the mountains category. This time, Rice's protégé conquered the freakishly steep slopes of Brasstown Bald, which the directeur-sportif of US Postal compared to the Angliru climb in Spain.

How it unfolded

Despite the length of the stage and the fact that a 10km wall was facing riders at the very end, not to mention the infamous Hogpen gap on the way, the race started quickly and aggressively, with many non-GC riders going on the attack. Eventually at the 50km mark, a group of eleven riders escaped, including Russel Hamby (Sierra Nevada) Thomas Bruun Eriksen (CSC) Jeff Louder (Navigators), Gord Fraser (Health Net), Paul Ellis (Jelly Belly), Chad Hartley (Jittery Joe's), Erik Saunders (Ofoto), Jacky Durand (Colnago), Todd Herriot (Colavita), Ivan Ravaioli (Barloworld) and Alessio Galletti (Domina).

The blue train of the US Postal team set tempo on the front of the peloton keeping the break in check and never letting it get more than four minutes ahead, mainly because in the break was Galletti who was only 3'58" down on GC. The break worked well together with Galletti having the most to gain and becoming the driving force all day. Fraser was also up there for a reason and that was to take the sprint points along the way so that he could win back the sprint jersey from Ivan Dominguez (Colavita Bolla).

It was just before the start of Hogpen gap, the first KOM of the day, that Galletti attacked, with only Fraser going with him The rest of the break didn't get organized and quickly the pair had 50" on the group. On the way up Hogpen gap, Galletti continued to push the pace, eventually dropping Fraser and the two continued to ride solo from thereon in. The climb also had an effect on the rest of the break. The small group blew to pieces and one by one; the riders were caught by the bunch. Aside from Galletti and Fraser, Herriot was the last one to get caught.

After Hogpen, Fraser rode hard until the final sprint of the day. He took second place points and then relaxed with his work over for the day. He could then ride his own pace to the finish line, knowing that he had the sprint jersey on his back going into the final stage.

It was up Brasstown Bald that the real action began. The steepness of the mountain was enough in itself to cause attrition in the peloton and with US postal setting tempo on the front, Galletti was also caught, but when Julich attacked midway up the climb, the bunch really split to pieces. Julich's attack didn't stay away but had its purpose. "I [attacked] to try and soften them up for before Jens hit them pretty good," he said.

With three kilometers to go and thousands of spectators looking on, Grajales made his move. Knowing the climb like the back of his hand, having trained on it twice a week in the lead up to the race, he knew exactly the places to attack. "I was thinking about it for some time, and I decided to go earlier than I had intended because the group was still so big. I went at 3km instead of two," said Grajales.

When he went, no-one could react - not even Armstrong - with Grajales taking the stage with 17 seconds to spare. Behind, the GC battle continued with only Armstrong, Voigt and Horner remaining. After Grajales' attack, Armstrong picked up the pace to eventually drop Horner, with he and Voigt finishing together, Voigt taking second place and Armstrong safely in third to keep his leader's jersey. Horner finished another 10 seconds down in fourth place, his final chance to move up on GC behind him.

The efforts of Julich and Voigt could not overcome Armstrong today, but Voigt was happy that he kept his second place on GC. "We obviously had good position with me sitting in second on GC and Bobby sitting in fourth and we tried to take a shot at [Lance]," said Voigt.

"But what can you do? Lance is just stronger. Bobby had a go and I had a go. I was not only looking at beating Lance, I was also trying to make sure that Horner didn't pass me [on GC] and end up taking my spot. So it's like we neutralized each other for a while."
