Team Garmin‘s day began in muggy Monaco with Bradley Wiggins in the green jersey and third place overall, and it wrapped up in balmy Brignoles with Tyler Farrar following a beautiful leadout by Julian Dean and Danny Pate to finish second on the stage. As the vast majority of the peloton finished together, the top of the general classification didn’t change. Wiggins still sits in third place, just 19 seconds behind the race leader. And though Tyler didn’t quite take the stage win Sunday, he was a popular pick to win and turned heads with his strong finish. Check out VeloNews to read about his stellar sprint, and you can also follow his progress in his own words as he and other Team Garmin cyclists post rider diaries on various sites. We’ll highlight more over the next few weeks, and you can always find links at the newly redesigned Team Garmin site.
