ALPHARETTA: Tom Danielson was surrounded by his Discovery Channel team as he maintained his 4-second advantage over Levi Leipheimer, content to cruise across the line behind stage winner Gord Fraser of Canada to win the Tour of Georgia on Sunday. Armstrong, wearing No. 1 on the back of his jersey, settled for 22nd place on the day and fifth overall. He was 1 minute, 42 seconds behind Danielson. — ``It's time for a new crop, a new generation,'' Armstrong said. Danielson, a 27-year-old former mountain biker who joined the team this season, grabbed the lead on Saturday during a gruelling climb up Brasstown Bald — the highest point in Georgia. Aware that he had no chance of winning, Armstrong joined the rest of the team in a supporting role, ensuring that the yellow-shirted Danielson stayed out of trouble and close enough to the front to guard his narrow lead over Leipheimer. ``I knew I was in good hands,'' said Danielson, whose winning time was 26 hours, 57 minutes, 56 seconds. — AP
