International professional riders descend on the Coastal Empire for the opening stage of the 2008 Tour de Georgia. Look for 2007 Tour de France champion Alberto Contador and Astana teammate Levi Leipheimer (2007 US National Road Race champion) along with the first ever appearance of a pro Chinese team in a US race.
Finish line is by the Savannah Civic Center on Liberty Street. The riders will pass there twice, once at around 10:30am and again for the finish at 1-1:30pm.
