Velonews.com http://www.velonews.com/race/dom/articles/7923.0.html is reporting that "Team Discovery Channel rider American Tom Danielson has taken the overall lead from fellow American Floyd Landis, with help during the ascent of the category 1 Hogpen Gap climb, 96 miles into stage 5 of the Dodge Tour de Georgia. It was there that the world's most famous bike racer went to the front of a four-rider break and started hammering away for one of his teammates, American Tom Danielson. "

"On the second to last climb he attacked and pulled the whole way," said Danielson. "It was just four of us [Lance Armstrong, Floyd Landis, Levi Leipheimer and Danielson]. The whole time I was on his wheel I was thinking there is no way I'm going to lose this race today because my idol before I was even on a bike was riding on the front for me. I was not going to let anything happen today."

I believe Mr. Armstrong will be looking for some payback in France this summer...
