    The main group came through Turners Corner at about 2:00pm.  The roads are gummed up with wrecks and fallen trees.  We are in Dahlonega at present waiting for the finish.  I will keep ya'll updated as best I can.

    The peloton just came over the top of Wolfpen gap and a 5 man group is out in front.  This group is being led by "Chechu" Rubierra.  They are about 25 minutes from the finish.

4:20 p.m.  22 April 2005

   Brian Vandborg of CSC won an exciting stage victory here at stage four.  It ended up in a two man sprint to the line between Brian and Viatcheslav Ekimov of the Discovery Team.  The rest of the riders arrived in small groups that were separated by significant time gaps.  Remember that if you get any real cool shots of this stage or have a comment to pass on to the peanut gallery please send it to bicycling@coolbicyling.com
