May 1, 2010 (Chuncheon, Korea) – Canada’s Will Routley (Jelly Belly p/b Kenda) placed 28th on Stage 9 from Yangyang to Chuncheon and moved up into 8th overall. His team mate Michael Friedman (USA) was 9th on the stage and holds on to the leader’s jersey with the final stage on Sunday.

Well we defended it again today. Tomorrow is short – one hill to worry about but should be quite controllable. Today was hard! We would stick with Mike on the climbs, then chase back on to the front group, then chase the break in between the climbs, then hit the next climb and do it all over again.

We dropped one more guy in the GC so I moved up to 8th overall as well. Another good day, really stressful and really hard, but a really good day. One more to go tomorrow!!!!! …yay!
