I've watched all but the last stage so far. How did you Saturday's stage with Chris drafting off Tommy D and then pipping him at the end for the stage win and leader's jersey?

Well done from stage planning to coverage. Finally discovered Tour Tracker app for iPhone, then ported live video feed to big screen using Airplay and AppleTV.

Stage 5 and 6 were excellent. Tommy D and Garmin/Sharp played it perfectly to take the overall. Acevedo just FLEW down Empire into PC. Good stuff!

I was there, volunteering for stages 4, 5 and 6, and there was some great racing this year. While I've ridden most of the roads used in this year's tour, I shudder at the thought of riding 587 miles and climbing 43,621 feet in 6 days.

I'll echo that--great racing this year. We were able to make it to the finish line of three different stages, and had a blast each time. Unreal watching pros demolish rides, routes, and climbs that we ride so often.

Humbling and inspiring at the same time. Really excited to see this race develop from year to year.

Just finished watching the last stage...glad to see Tommy D take it after doing all the work the day before and have Horner snatch the jersey at the finish line.

Horner said they put out 450 watts the day before at 9000 ft altitude. Holy hell.....
