While the weather sucked and I wasn’t able to feel warm by proxy watching the race (kind of like watching Red Sox Spring Training*,) this year’s Tour of California was a fun event. A great field (especially in terms of time trial talent,) some aggressive riding and what appeared to be great organization provided a fun week of cycling.
As for the results, I can honestly say I couldn’t have scripted it any better. Maybe it would have been better if David Millar or someone else from Slipstream had come away with a stage win, but seeing favorites like Cancellara, Boonen, Haedo, Leipheimer and Hincapie coming away with stage wins was perfect for me- especially with George winning the dramatic final stage and Leipheimer coming away with the overall victory.
I really want to check out the race in person next year. It’s truly a world class event, so there will be no excuses next time 🙂
Leipheimer wins his second consecutive Tour of California
*hopefully the Race to the Sun will provide that for me next week,
