Interview - Andrew Talansky
Q: Hernández really rode away from everybody today, do you think anybody could take yellow away from him?
A: Yes. The course today really was more of a mental game then anything else. He just found the perfect spot to attack and no one could match. So it should be fun to see how he will ride when chasing and not attacking.

USA Pro Cycling Challenge - Stage 5
August 26, 2011
The only stage suited for the sprinters,
so look for Jimmy Casper, Taylor Phinney, and Davide Appollonio
to fight for the stage win as the top favourites.
The breakaway is a popular place today with numerous 15-20 rider groups trying to get away. But they are all pulled back throughout the first 35kms.

Finally this 7 man group gets free,
2nd year youngster Richard Ackerman represents EA-Sony.

At the second KoM, which is 50kms from the finish,
the breakaway leads by 7 minutes!

8 minutes by the sprint point, the peloton isn't chasing at all.
The sprinters are giving their stage away to the breakaway!

10kms to go, still a 5 minute lead. The breakaway is going to make it!

Thibault Turpin starts the sprint, Ackerman sits 2nd wheel.

But Richard isn't a sprinter and gets blown out of the water.
But does beat Turpin to take 6th.

American team BMC gets the stage win with Martin Kohler.
The peloton comes through 3'37" later,
but the top of the overall picture goes unchanged.
Stage
| 1 | Martin Kohler | BMC Racing Team | 3h15'20 | | 2 | John Martinez | Colombia es Pasión - Café de Colombia | s.t. | | 3 | Andrew Fenn | An Post - Sean Kelly | s.t. | | 4 | Johan Coenen | Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator | s.t. | | 5 | Ramunas Navardauskas | Team Garmin - Cervélo | s.t. | | 6 | Richard Ackerman | EA-Sony Ericsson | s.t. | | 7 | Thibault Turpin | Team Garmin - Cervélo | s.t. | | 8 | Frédéric Amorison | Landbouwkrediet | + 3'37 | | 9 | Greg Van Avermaet | BMC Racing Team | s.t. | | 10 | Daniele Callegarin | Team Type 1 | s.t. |
GC
| 1 | Kanstantsin Siutsou | HTC - Highroad | 11h30'21 | | 2 | Jesús Hernández | Saxo Bank SunGard | + 3 | | 3 | Andrew Talansky | EA-Sony Ericsson | + 51 | | 4 | Rory Sutherland | UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling | + 1'25 | | 5 | Jurgen Van Goolen | Veranda's Willems - Accent | + 2'00 | | 6 | Tejay Van Garderen | EA-Sony Ericsson | + 2'35 | | 7 | Iker Camaño | Endura Racing | + 3'01 | | 8 | Tiago Machado | Team RadioShack | + 3'24 | | 9 | Morris Possoni | Sky ProCycling | + 3'36 | | 10 | Thomas Peterson | EA-Sony Ericsson | + 3'53 |
Interview - Richard Ackerman
Q: Lucky day, jumping in on a sucessful breakaway. Lately you have been overshadowed by Licina, do you think you have the same talent as Jimmy?
A: He is developing faster and also in an area where you can see progression, climbing. I'm working hard but it's going to take a while before I hit my potential. So your question is rather unfair, we will see in a few years down the road.

Talansky should do well the rest of the race.
