Re: Amgen Tour of California bike race

So yesterday was day one. Prologue time trial. Leipheimer wins the race by 1.4 seconds over an unknown from Chad's old team, which is now called Slipstream.
By the way, the kid from Dixon must be pretty good. He is joining Discovery in July.
Chad is not part of the BMC Tour of California team. I hope he gets selected for either Georgia or Utah.

Re: Amgen Tour of California bike race

Levi Leipheimer wins the general classification, leading from day one to day eight! Yesterday, one of the stars of Discovery, George Hincapie, crashed early in the race and broke his wrist, but continued on riding, pulling back a really strong breakaway so Levi could keep his lead. It was amazing! This morning he had surgery and had a plate put in. He will be out 6-8 weeks. Which means he will probably miss the Spring Classics. Bummer.
The kid from Dixon dnf'ed on the 5th stage. Jens Voigt finished second overall.
