Today's stage description from the official website:
Stage 3 –Farmington to Rolla, 114.3 mi. (183.9 km)
Perhaps the most challenging stage in the three-year history of Tour of Missouri awaits the riders during this stage. The start in Farmington’s quaint downtown belies the challenges to come in the Ozark Mountains. With over 6,000 feet of total climbing on hill after hill, this day will begin to shape the race for the overall champion. The familiar finish in Rolla could again see a solo winner as it did in 2008 with Michael Barry.

Currently it is the low res stream with no commentary. The high resolution video with commentary starts approximately 2 hours before the stage finish.

Any ideas? How does two guys up the road all day in a three-man break help you beat Cav?

agreed, but i think it takes too many wildcards for this to replicate in Europe
Too many of these teams have nothing to lose in Missouri, so they can sit back, do nothing and then cause chaos in the finale. I don’t see how that would work in Europe at a GT where so many teams are protecting their overall contenders and want a nice, clean sprint, not the chaos we just saw

I can't wait for the Columbia whining to start! Pick the main excuse:
a) Other teams are lazy and made us work all day. They don’t know how to race properly.
b) It’s the bush leagues out here with all these domestic teams. They don’t know how to race properly.
c) Garmin are idiots and sent two guys up the road on a pointless break. They don’t know how to race properly.
d) other (please explain)

Cervelo have their work cut out for them tomorrow. Columbia can sit on and put the train together for the easy victory. Unless Cervelo doesn’t chase down the break that’s sure to form. More fun tomorrow I’m sure.
