Gesink totally deserved that victory after the way he climbed up Mount Baldy  |

Sagan beats Boonen. Good sprint that was.

That sprint was actually close, Sagan may have actually waited too long to make his move. Ciolek was very very fast leading out Boonen though.

What? There was a stage? Race ends at 11:40 in the morning? What?

Why have the stage finish before the normal broadcast start time?
I had no idea the race had started.

Race had to finish early, LA is really really busy rest of the day. (Playoff games for Hockey and Basketball both happening).

I love Sagan's interview. He doesn't have best English but talked awesome. First a interviewer asked him whether he'll do Tour and he said
' I do Tour and I do it good'
And after he explain this victory and didn't know what to say he said this
'.... I like this country'

Okay, that makes sense.
The roads used for the race, will also be needed to get to the Staples Center or else people will just start to hate cycling, because its ruined their (life) ease of getting to the sporting events, with those roads.
Edit:
Happy for Dave Zabriskie. Love him!

So the real storie sof the day:
1. Haussler doesn't get 2nd on the stage! 
2. Zabriskie gets his 4th 2nd in the race GC.
3. Boonen actually sprinted.

Now that was close,Sagan started bit late, but still was able to answer to great lead-out of OPQS. Five wins, that is special and 8th win of the season, he is right behind Boonen and Van Rensburg (9 and 11 wins)

On his showing in California this year, i cannot wait to see him come up against Cavendish in the Tour de France, that will be an epic duel  |

He is not quite up to Cav's level on a flat sprint. I look forward to a Sagan-EBH duel in the tough sprints and finishes, will be epic! |

Got a feeling that Sagan may shock Cavendish on a few occasions |

Dear sutty68,
Making random words bold does not make your arguments any more convincing.
Much love,

Really Crommy?
I believe that posts are made to look more fancy by doing this. So he might have a point
Oh no ofcourse not.
