Best picture quality all year hands down.
I have to admit I'm stoked for tomorrow with Andy's performance today

Caught the end of the stage, Westra used his TT ability nicely to take away a win from Sagan. Sagan looked pissed after the stage.  Can't wait to see how stage 2 plays out.

Is that a new Vaconsoliel jersey or a special one for Westra?

im actually going to go see the third and second to last stages, but I wasn't able to catch the stage but it seemed like a cool stage to watch. But this year a cliber will win, because of mount Diableo and the hilly San Jose time trail |

BTW, he was dropped but he did manage to come back. Hope he can hold on in the GC anyway

Seemed like excellent stage.
Great win for Westra. Stuyven in 5th is pure class as well. Glad to see Andy back.
Also Rogers is finally back from the sickeness it seems.

Btw, today's climb on Strava:
https://www.strava...imb-616496
Preety tough. 9.5% average gradient, and near end goes up to 20% at times. Add the heat and this might be a massacre.

Great show of strength from Westra at the end to grab that stage
And wtf Andy Schleck on the attack, when was the last time that happened |

Unlike everybody here, i am not celebrating Westra so much, but i will eat my hat if this was the last chance for Sagan to win the stage this year.
I expect two at least, even after the long break...
Today should be a nice stage, shame i have to wake up at 5.45 CET.

Well, there are pretty good summaries on youtube, usually around 5 minutes long, so you can always watch that  |

As always, the Tour Tracker is awesome.
However, it's in Flash, so you're out of luck if you're one mobile/tablet. Or so I thought until I searched for a Tour of California app.
Available on both Android and iOS, you get the free live video, live text, GPS tracking, standings etc.
Impressive as always from the (major) American races. |

Nice win for Westra, also a strong 2nd for Mancebo. I thought this guy has retired?

He retired after Puerto but came back after not getting suspended. Has been riding in America ever since.
