T of California - SPOILERS

[rich p]

Dunno if this race deserves its own thread but hey ho - it's got one!
It's one of those day's parcours, reminiscent of long transfer days in the Vuelta.
Long, straight roads with a fairly featureless countryside. Maybe Cav will do the business.

The peloton as wide as it is long

Pretty easy for Cav with that lead out.
Sagan 2nd again. Oleg won't be happy

Cav won that in fine style. He looks so much better this year than last. Muy rápido.

Poor old Sagan - no matter what he does, or where he is, he just doesn't seem able to win any more.

Cav is on fire this year. Can't blame Sagan for not being able to keep up. Sagan has been unlucky as getting himself into second place regularly, but up against riders who are really on top of their form.

It's a pity that Kittel isn't well enough to be there though. It's getting to be a bit like Coe and Ovett rarely fighting out a head to head.

Kittel looked so dejected at the Tour de Yorkshire, you really had to feel for him.

True Stan, but at least his hair smells of coffee!

At least he has hair - I was considering buying the new Giant kit, but the ever growing Monk's crown on the top of my bonce would leave me feeling like a fraud!

Last 1km starts at 8.19 for those time limited / impatient. Saxo did Etixx a favour there by coming to the front when they did. They're getting desperate if they think Sagan will beat Cav in a straight up sprint.

In the woman's race, Dame Sarah Storey was in the polkadot jersey at one point but I don't know what else has happened.
