April 20, 2007 – With Wagner’s epic Ride of the Valkyries blaring over the speaker system atop Brasstown Bald Mountain, Discovery Channel’s Levi Leipheimer powered up to the finish line to put a dramatic end to stage 5 of the 2007 Tour De Georgia.

Discovery Channel played their cards extremely well today, hanging back and allowing local Georgia squad Jittery Joe’s to work alongside Saunier-Duval’s ProTour riders until the decisive moment to attack was sounded. Jittery Joe’s was once again looking to have their climber Cesar Grajales repeat his stage win of 2004 here, but it was not to be. Grajales who is still suffering the pain of a separated shoulder obviously wanted to win this stage, but it just was not to be.

While Jittery Joe’s rode hard for Grajales, a breakaway of eight riders was up the road looking to create yet more drama in this year’s Tour. Navigator’s Phil Zajicek, along with teammate Ben Day, were in this select group, along with Colavita/Sutter Home rider Anthony Colby (who would eventually get third place at the end of the day…).

Among the escapees was Health Net’s Canadian climber Ryder Hesjedal. The move was a logical one for the team to make, but all in all it was an effort that Hesjedal would not soon forget.

“It was hard. It was a long day….an exciting day. I gave it my all at the end there. There’s not much for me to say regarding the general (classification)… that’s out of the question at this point. So the best thing was to try to have an aggressive day and see what could happen.”

The gap stretched out to over five minutes, but as the peloton grew closer to Brasstown their grip on the flyers up the road began to tighten. Alexander Moos of BMC seemed to have the best chance of success going forward, but once Leipheimer launched, there was no one that could stop him.

Leipheimer’s teammate Janez Brajkovic remains in the overall leader’s jersey, but Hesjedal is in the King of the Mountains kit, which considering today’s effort is no small prize. Tomorrow’s effort takes the riders towards the Atlanta metro area, for what will most likely be a sprint finish.
