Stage 4 - Dalton to Dahlonega

Jose Luis Rubiera (Discovery)

Stage 4 - April 22: Dalton to Dahlonega, 214.7km
Rubiera works for the KOM points, CSC claims the stage win in rain-soaked Tour de Georgia.

The most aggressive rider of the day, as well as the new Georgia Power King of the Mountains, Jose Rubiera (Discovery Channel) rode on the front for most of the stage. He initiated the break from the start of the first climb of the day at about km 20 and led just about the entire way until the descent of the final climb at about km 195. He tried to ride away from the faltering break near the top of the final climb, but was caught by a chase group of 26 on the descent.
