ToC

I resisted commentating on the tour of california as it went down, but now that its over I'd like to make a few statements.

1. Awesome so many big names and big teams showed up (even if they werent taking it seriously). Good to get some big level racing in the US. (Lets hope they bring a WC 'cross race this fall).

2. Levi won, on a wierd ruling. If they hadn't made the stage 2 ruling, would jens have won? I'm to lazy to look it up, but had Levi not been yellow all race, things would have been different.

3. Sucks to be hincapie, that guy has terrible luck. Let's hope his clothing company doesn't bring that luck, as colby and a bunch of other eccc teams are getting kits made by them (when are they showing up?)

4. Congrats to adam hansen, t-mob for an awesome 1st race w/ t-mob. 6th in the prologue, in a few breakaways including the big one yesterday. Awesomely nice guy (he is zakeen on WW), check out his website http://www.adamhansen.com/ Also shout outs to Anthony Colby and Alejandro Acton of Colavita, who I both met and sort of know from them being with Targetraining last year (actually I rode with both of them and nearly died, but thats another story). Alejandro was in a huge break one stage and wore the most agressive rider jersey the next day, you probably know him as the guy who rode 100 miles solo at tour de georgia last year.
