Georgia Final: Lowe Best Young and 2nd overall
There were no real surprises during today’s final circuit race in downtown Atlanta. A breakaway that included Tom Danielson held about a one-minute gap on the peloton for most of the race.
The break was overtaken in the final 10 km circuit with all the team’s lining up for their shot at a final stage win. Tyler Farrar managed to finish the stage 6th and maintain his second place position in the overall sprint competition.
Trent Lowe (right) easily maintained his position as the 2008 Tour de Georgia Best Young Rider overall. This marks the second time Trent has earned that honor, having won it in 2005 when he was only 20-years-old. Trent also finished on the podium as second in the overall classification, while Christian Vande Velde finished seventh.

Great job Trent and Team Slipstream!! Look forward to seeing the team build on these great results in the months and years ahead.!
Great job Slipstream, you have a big fan in Birmingham Al.
Very nice effort. The old mt will be there next year to give the challange to all.
Great work guys!! A very hard effort was put into this race! Congrats!!
Congratulations on some fine results in the TOG!! Looking forward to continued good results this season through-out!!
Anyone else think that Trent looks like David Spade?
Great job guys! Stage win, 2nd on GC and an enormous amount of work on the Brasstown stage. Best of luck in your upcoming races.
Jv, sorry for second guessing you about the tactics on Brasstown. I just wanted Trent and the argyle to win (badly!).
I’ll see you boys in France at Le Tour. I will be screaming loudly for the argyle army on Alpe d’Huez (and other climbs). Go Slipstream!
