Tour de Georgia stage 1 wrap and comments

Reported by Mark Zalewski and Eddie Monnier

The first stage of the Dodge Tour de Georgia finished in a bunch sprint in Macon, after a long breakaway by TIAA-CREF's Dan Bowman was swallowed up in the final 40 km and all the late attacks were nullified by the sprinters' teams. The stage was won by Phonak's Robert Hunter, who outsprinted Ben Brooks (Jelly Belly) and Michele Maccanti (LPR). The race continues today with a 197.5 km stage between Fayetteville and Rome.
