I hope I will have time to report a stage or two today, but I won't and can't promise anything.
As with pretty much everyone else I'm currently doing my exams, this being my important semester project, but I should be able to do a stage or two. Time will tell  |

I get a bad feeling a break will win the tour though

Why does Millar always seem to do bad in Prologues? Still, at least it means Ive got at least 1 ProTour point out of the race

Although the profile doesn't show it, half this race has about a 6% gradient.
Zabriskie was always going to win this, just a case of can he hold on?

True. It was quite steep and it definitely had an influence. |

Good team effort. Zubeldia in 7th leaving it up to himself to do well on the mountainous routes of the tour. He should be able to get atleast Millar and Ignatiev behind him, so every chance of a top 10 GC here. Thats good.
Hushovd placed himself only 11 seconds behind meaning he could take the leaders jersey already on the next stage if he hits the form.
Vandborg and van Goolen was also in top 20 so with a bit of luck they can do a good tour aswell, atleast van Goolen should be able to keep close on the mountain/hilly stages. Even Thor Hushovd might be able to do decent... |

It doesn't, but it's promising
Next stage will be up within an hour. I raced it and did the report on the train from my university to work, so now I just need to open up the laptop again and post the stage |

Nice. Looking forward to see if Hushovd can beat the other sprinters. He had his trouble with Haedo last time |

Good to see Haimar was where he needed to be to be in top 10, too bad that Hushovd couldn't keep up here though... Thought he could survive on that route... |

Warner Brothers seem to have got the hang of this break thing. First Facci Down Under, now another one in California.
Nice to see Agudelo up there B)

Shame Mazur went with the break, Im sure theres better qualified riders for it in my line up. At least it all came back together again at the end.

My first point of the California Tour. 3rd from Hushovd, is acceptable, but nothing more... |
