After yesterday's extremely slow pace, Andrea Tafi (Saunier Duval-Prodir) decided to take matters into his own hand in today's second rolling stage from Fayetteville to Rome. After 80km of racing, the veteran Italian racing in his last year shot out of the peloton and onto a solo ride to the city named after his home country's capital. "For me, it is a really important to win one [more] stage for my career," said Tafi. And the field felt content to let him try, until the teams of the sprinters remembered that this is the last flat stage until the end and began to chase. Tafi was caught entering the circuits by a fast charging peloton led by the entire Discovery Channel team, with last year's Rome finish winner Lance Armstrong in tow.

All three circuits were controlled by Discovery and the team did their best to lead out The Boss, but in the end the train was hijacked by Gerolsteiner's Peter Wrolich who came through the bunch to take the downhill finish. "It's all about positioning in the end, and we were good, but some guys came around us," said Armstrong. "I tried my luck, but last year was almost a freak experience, winning a sprint like that. It's not as if I am disappointed to be third, but that's a tough little circuit!"

Nonetheless, Armstrong still sits comfortably in fifth place on general classification entering tomorrow's key time trial. "I feel fairly good. It's tough to say, we haven't had any difficult days yet and tomorrow's the first big test. I'll have a better idea tomorrow."

Today's stage winner Peter Wrolich gave a blow-by-blow on how me came around Lance and Co. "We came up the last hill and Lance was alone," Wrolich explained. "It was difficult for him to control the situation. I had Levi with me. I just followed Lance. Levi attacked with 350 meters to go and it was a good chance for me because if Lance wanted to win, he had to close the gap. He jumped after Levi -- it was an easier situation to jump from the wheel of Lance and win."

The Gerolsteiner rider was impressed with the finishing circuit today as well. "You can compare [the course] to all the hills in the Netherlands. A lap like that is real racing, it was something for the crowd....They can see the race for a half an hour....And that should also be the way it is Europe... I liked it."

Andrea Tafi didn't come away with nothing however. For holding on to the lead through the first time up Clock Tower Hill, he gains the first KOM jersey of this year's race. However, he is here for something more and gave a hint at what is to come. "For me it was a fantastic day, but maybe I will try on the last day. For me, it is a really important to win one [more] stage for my career."

Robbie Hunter (Phonak) retains his overall lead even though he had a tough time weeding through slower riders on the final circuit. "On the last climb I was right in front, and there were two guys who sat up -- and it's such a small straight climb that you can lose like fifteen positions," explained the South African sprinter. "It was pretty fast and position is everything. But the problem is I don't think everyone in the group has got the legs to give it gas off after 200km, so you get guys sitting up and just getting in the way on a circuit like this." Hunter will be able to take it easy and recover tomorrow during the time trial, but not too easy since he'll be sporting the yellow jersey.

Health Net's Greg Henderson takes over the sprint leader's jersey after his team rode strongly for the two Maxxis sprints today. "We had it pretty covered, with three pretty quick guys out there to cover it," explained Henderson. "I just had to make sure we got the lead-out organized -- we went full panic mode, to make sure we had the front of the race -- then launch me with 200 to go."

But the plans almost didn't go off as planned, for either sprint. "The lead-out got a little messed up when Mike Sayers dropped his chain or something. Then the sprint ended up being uphill, which was a bit harder than it needed to be! (laughs) Just 18km into the race!"

The second Maxxis sprint was almost a problem for the former world track champion. "I looked down at my arm -- thought I had won it comfortably, sat up and then I looked again and realized I had to get out of my seat and go again, because they were coming at me! I nearly messed that one up -- had to throw it on the line. It was like I was on the track again!"

The kiwi sprinter comes to Georgia from the recent track worlds in California, which takes some retooling after turning left for so long. "I was going to have a go at the finish, but I just didn't have the legs. I'm straight off the track -- it's my first road race, so 200 km days..."

While the crowds at the start and finish cities have been about as large as last year, the fans along the race route have been better than ever. Armstrong also felt great about the support the fans have been showing to him and the other riders. "It was fantastic from the start to the finish, we had a lot of people out there, especially a lot of schools. Every school we passed -- I think everyone was out -- the entire staff, all the kids and all the teachers. They made posters, banners, noisemakers and everything. It was great to see."

How it unfolded

The bunch

Huge crowds lined the downhill drag out of Fayetteville, Georgia screaming and waving the now typical, "Marry me, Lance" signage. The peloton began as it did yesterday, slow. But thanks to an early sprint at just 18km out on the race course, the riders were quicker to get things going. Health Net was again at the front as their sponsor Maxxis is once again sponsoring the sprints. And having three strongmen on their team leaves them little room for excuse with the moneymen.

Greg Henderson (Health Net p/b Maxxis) took maximum points even with a mechanical problem with his lead-out man Mike Sayers. Gord Fraser took second place and the best young rider on the road Mauro Santambrogio (Team L.P.R.) third. After this, the peloton had 128km until the next sprint.

Thirteen riders used this as a springboard to try a counter-attack, and gained about ten seconds on the field before being brought back. Similar breaks suffered similar fated over the next several kilometers. American crit specialist Jonny Sundt (Jittery Joe's/Kalahari) tried to shake things up a few times today, but to little success.

A bigger group of eight got away, including two Discovery riders in McCartney and Rubiera, Tafi (Saunier Duval-Prodir), Michael Rich and Matthias Russ (Gerolsteiner) among others. This seemed to have the right combination of riders and they worked well together, growing a gap to thirty seconds. But the undulating hills took their toll on the riders and the gap quickly disappeared. American Christian Vande Velde (CSC) tried a quick counter, but the savvy peloton was not fooled.

The pack was together through the mid-race feed zone and seemed content when Andrea Tafi unleashed another solo effort similar to yesterday. "[Tafi] doesn't like it when we go slow, he was trying to liven things up a little bit," explained Armstrong. "He has been a big champion in our sport. I remember what he has done in the last fifteen years."

The former winner of Paris-Roubaix (and many other races!) used a long decent to build a gap of nearly a minute, before settling in for a long time trial. And the field let him have his merry way about the course while they enjoyed their feed zone lunch.

Tafi's lead ballooned to nearly five minutes through the second Maxxis sprint. But as the field approached the sprint the tempo quickened, resulting in a reduction in Tafi's lead. The time began to fall off even quicker as Phonak assumed position at the front with three riders.

With the time gap under four minutes, Colavita-Sutter Home's Aaron Olsen launched off the front of the peloton as they crested the last significant climb. Using the long downhill, he gained twenty seconds on the field. A few riders attempted to bridge to Olson, but none were successful and he rode to a middle-ground between Tafi and the peloton.

Tafi entered the Rome with a resurgent five minute lead on the field, making the race organization nervous about confusion on the finishing circuits. However, Discover Channel moved to the front and dropped the hammer, bringing the pack into Rome flying. The quick pace might have even contributed to their team car blowing a rear tire on the way into town.

Tafi's lead shrunk to two minutes as he neared the only KOM on Clock Tower Hill. Luckily he held on to a minute buffer while cresting the hill, claiming the first KOM jersey. Aaron Olsen was not so lucky and fell back into the field.

Into the finishing circuit it was all Discovery Channel all the time. And it was only a matter of time before they caught and passed Andrea Tafi.

It seemed that Discovery Channel wanted to make another statement here with a sprint win, with Johann Bruyneel conferring with Lance before the stage. "It was a downhill sprint, so the more gearing you have, the better," explained Armstrong. "Last year I didn't have enough... I didn't have a 54. Actually, it was Johann's idea!"

A few riders tried to get off the front, but with the strong Discovery Channel train chugging at full-speed, nobody was getting away. Jason McCartney led his team around the course, with Armstrong in tow at the rear. But over the hill the final time, the lead-out was incomplete as Gerolsteiner crashed the party, with Peter Wrolich using American Levi Leipheimer as a lead-out.

Tomorrow's stage three time trial will follow the exact same course as last year, with a testing climb and descent near the end of the course.
