Danske Lars Michaelsen vandt 1. etape af Tour de Georgia, da han vandt massespurten foran Freddy Rodriguez og Caleb Manion.
Etapen bød på flere udbrud, men det længste udbrud kom afsted efter 98 kilometers kørsel, hvor Aaron Olson (Prodir-Saunier Duval) angreb sammen med
Danny Pate (TIAA CREF), Neil Shirley (Jittery Joe's-Zero Gravity) og Jackson Stewart (Kodakgallery.com - Sierra Nevada). De øgede forspringet hurtigt og havde på et tidspunkt et forspring på over 11 minutter. Men så begyndte Discovery og Phonak at køre udbruddet stillede og roligt ind.
Da feltet kom tæt på, angreb Aaron Olson, men han havde ikke kræfter til at kunne holde feltet på afstand. I stedet for slog bl.a. danske Allan Johansen kontra. Det lykkedes dog ikke for danskeren, og han blev hentet.
Det hele endte altså i en massespurt, hvor danske Lars Michaelsen hentede årets største danske sejr i år.
