Tour hits Rome


The Tour de Georgia spun into Rome Tuesday.

After three laps of downtown, including multiple climbs up steep Clocktower Hill, Serbian cyclist Ivan Stevic narrowly won Stage Two of the race.

The race left Thomaston in the morning. Cyclists traveled 135 miles over moderate terrain to Rome, from which they will ride to Chattanooga on Wednesday.

Although Stevic, a member of the Toyota-United team, won Stage Two, Italian cyclist Daniele Contrini of the Tinkoff Credit Systems team remained the overall leader.

Stevic is now in fourth place.
