I went with Lance on the strength of that statement.
How many stages ? Is there a TT ? I really don't know much about the race

I got the impression he was experimenting at the TDU. His breakaways were:
1. Helping Jack Bobridge, the new kid he admired.
2. The final road stage hill climb with the most cameras.
3. The final laps of the final criterion, again seemingly just for show.
i.e. he had plenty in the tank.

Dont know if he helped Jack out there i think its more likely that Jack would have got away on his own as his considered less of a threat than Lance that break got shut down pretty quick.1. Helping Jack Bobridge, the new kid he admired.

BTW, the live video and race stat feed on <http://www.tourofcalifornia.com/> is the best I've seen. However, you better have the data bandwidth and allocation to handle it.

*edit
Yep just saw the GC looks like Rogers is the only on really close enough of the real contenders to challenge would be great if he can win but even a podium is pretty good considering how strong Astana are.

There's no signing up for that race site. The live coverage page is an Adobe Flash site with quality video stream and other media goodies that'll keep you entertained for the whole race.Chuck wrote:I signed up too, but was wondering what time is it here when it's midday over there ?
The time difference with US West Coast is easy. Just add 5 hours from Sydney time. So it's easy to catch the race live in the morning on that site.
