Tour of California - link
http://www.amgentourofcalifornia.com/

The official link is very good, has live feeds, interviews, video, and generally the whole story. This is about the biggest race in the US since the old Coors Classic brought the European teams over...what gets me is its all on my old stomping grounds and not too far away, but works keeps me from going to see. :( At least the coverage is excellent. I'd like to see Landis do well, and Lance, of course, but its such a great field!

1. They rode the road I used to ride. But no coverage. Waaah.
Tunitas Creek and that entire area was where I spent many years on a road bike. Those were glorious years. I was the only rider on the road back then. Maybe a couple of others.
