California should have started by now, and TMM should bring us KBC and Paris-Roubaix soon (if he's not too busy with his new thing).
Oh and the Giro

I will still do all of mine, and depending how my new thing runs i could perhaps take on a few more in the future.
So we basically need to replace Baggie and Maxime races with other people.

Jesleyh? I know you were interested at one point. So was Sutty (i think...)

The Amgen Tour of California

The Seventh Annual Amgen Tour of California is set to begin!
This year's edition is quite a difficult race, but before we get into any of that stuff, lets run down a quick recent history of the biggest Cycling in America

Starlist

This year's Amgen Tour includes a quite strong Startlist, including many, many younger riders in expericence and in age. However this year there are much less americans participating, but a few teams, such as Dominos, Lunar, In-n-Out and CSC have brought many americans. However with less americans means more international riders, which just shows how much this race has grown over the last several years.

Stages

Stage one is a flat stage, apart from the two small climbs toward the end of the stage, exect a sprint finish, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a n attack on the second climb to go all the way



This next stage from San Fransico to Santa Cruz, a very similar stage as the previous one, but I would expect a good to impose himself on this stage



This next stage from San Jose to Livermore, will be an interesting one, the little hills near the end are a bit short for a GC rider to attack on, but an ok puncheur could take the victory



This stage is hilly, but dont excpect anything else then a full on sprint stage



This ITT along with the Mount Baldy stage will decide this year's Amgen Tour of California, bad time trailists will try to limit their losses and bad climber will try to gain some time


This stage from palmdale to big bear lake will be a stage for the break i think, I think the GC men will attempt to see how they are feeling before the penultimate stage



This year's ToC will be decided on this day, who can limit their losses and who can gain time, we will know the yellow jersey holder at the end of today


this stage is really just an honorary stage, a short sprint will decide this one

Favorites

*** Jakob Zoltan
** Rui Costa, Tom Danielson, Luis Leon Sanchez
* Levi Leiphimer, Roman Kreuziger, Andrew Talansky


I hope all of you will injoy this year's Amgen Tour of California, it's bound to be a great race to watch

you sent me a pm on july 15th I had closed the time to send in startlists in early june and you didnt even send me a startlist, I did some of the stages in late june, so you shoulda sent me your startlist in during the given time.

I posted the wrong startlist screen, Dominos also has danny pate

I'm not the Manager, it's Francopell, but he left the game. It's about my custom rider entering the race. His schedule was posted well ahead of your deadline both in the team HQ and the main thread.

Furthermore, here is where the schedule of the most important riders of Globant is posted, you were supposed to follow that

EDIT: and for future races, Bikes, Marco and a few others have made planners as well, in the general thread. Best you follow them
