USA Pro Cycling Challenge Stage 6 (Denver) at Speer and Bannock

The 6th and final stage of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge took the riders from Golden, CO up Lookout Mountain and through downtown Denver where they completed a 6-lap circuit (called a "criterium" or "crit" for short). This video was taken at the corner of Speer and Bannock which was the southern end of the crit.

Two breakout riders lead the chase pack on the fourth lap in downtown Denver. Levi Leipheimer is following at the front of the chase in the yellow jersey. The gap narrowed significantly on the final two laps, with Levi taking down the Challenge in the final lap. It is customary for racers not to attack the yellow jersey in the final stage of a stage race, but an interesting and fun week altogether.
