      Hiawassee, Georgia (April 22, 2006) - After starting 
      from Blairsville in a steady rain, the fifth stage of the Ford Tour de Georgia 
      finished 95 miles later under clear skies atop the notorious climb of Brasstown 
      Bald Mountain, the state's highest peak. 
       
      Kodakgallery.com/Sierra Nevada's Ben Jacques-Maynes was the team's best 
      finisher in 34th place, while Jesse Anthony was next for the team in 46th. 
       
      "It was a tough day for us, but this is 
      tough race. Still, we can't say enough about how Jesse's riding in his first 
      big race as a pro. We'll bounce back tomorrow," said General Manager Robin 
      Zellner. 
       
      Tomorrow's stage covers 118 miles from Cumming to Alpharetta; it was in 
      this stage last year that Kodakgallery.com/Sierra Nevada's Dominique Perras 
      was part of a four-rider breakaway that was caught during the final kilometers.
