SIVTSOV WINS TOUR DE GEORGIA - ESPN
IN FIRST-EVER U.S. RACE, SIVTSOV WINS TOUR DE GEORGIA
April 27, 2008
ATLANTA -- Kanstantin Sivtsov kept his tires full Sunday. The rest was easy.
Sivtsov, competing in his first race in the United States, survived a rash of flat tires on the streets of Atlanta to win the Tour de Georgia.
Sivtsov won the weeklong Georgia race as his Team High Road teammate Greg Henderson won the 63-mile final stage -- 10 laps on a 6.3-mile course.
The course in downtown Atlanta was swept before the race, but late-morning rain washed debris back onto the streets, possibly including broken glass from the March 14 tornado that hit downtown Atlanta. Windows in high-rise hotels and office buildings near Centennial Olympic Park -- the site of Sunday's start and finish -- are still being replaced.
