The last day of this stage race was on a 1 kilometer criterium course downtown. It consisted of a short steep hill and a long steady downhill. It was a nice, fun, safe course. I attacked about 15 minutes into the race and tried to bridge to a group of 4. I was away for a few laps before I was brought back by Ben Day and the rest of the peloton. Shortly after I got caught, my teammate Tom Roba attacked and bridged to the group. He stayed away for about 40 minutes until close to the end when he was caught. The main break stayed away the whole race. I felt good on the finishing sprint, but got boxed in and really didn't get a chance to wind it up. Still finished 16th on the stage and 27th overall. Better form next year I hope.
Here's an article on the stage with video.
