Something about the Crusher causes people’s tongues to hang out. Eddie Anderson (Axeon-Hagens Berman) crosses the line in second place. Photo: Steven L. Sheffield.

Alex Howes (EF Education First) decides to paperboy the last few meters to cross the line in third place. First a swing to the left … Photo: Steven L. Sheffield.

… and then back to the ri-i-i-ight … Photo: Steven L. Sheffield.

Howes then throws his bike in a lunge across the line to win the sprint against the altitude demons … Photo: Steven L. Sheffield.

Once across the line, Howes goes back to delivering newspapers. Photo: Steven L. Sheffield.

Jamey Driscoll (DNA Cycling-Mavic) crosses the line in 4th place. This is his 7th consecutive top-5 finish in 8 attempts. Photo: Steven L. Sheffield.
