Amgen Tour of California Stage 5

Today is a hilly stage and all I need to do is keep the peloton all together and make sure no one gains anytime.


I was able to relax during the beginning of the race because there were no breaks and no one seemed to care.

As always a large breakaway got away and they worked together trying to dtay away from the peloton.

The Peloton had to do a lot of work to bring the break back in and only 3 of my teammates were able to stay with me. In the end it was a one two by QuickStep as Carrara took 1st.

I hope to gain time tomorrow during the long time trial. I may not be a better time trialer then some of them but I am in great form.

Amgen Tour of California Stage 6


www.amgentourofcalifornia.com/docroot/images/2008/stage5-profile.jpg

Today's stage is a long time trial. I will have a long wait because I go last. this is the make or break stage and I need to pull off the best time trial so far in my career.


Rosseler was one of the first to go and he set a great time holding the lead for a good little while.

The Duo of Zabriske and Millar both set great times with Zabriske taking 1st and Millar taking 2nd. There time looked unbeatable.

When I went I knew I had to set a strong time.

i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/matthew493/Amgen%20Tour%20of%20California/Stage6Mestarting.png

I busted my butt taking risks on every single turn. In the end I finished 5th but it was good enough to secure the leader

The only reason I am doing so good is because I actually made sure I was on good form. Everyone else's form sucks.

Amgen Tour of California Stage 7

Todays stage had a couple hills but would most likely go to the sprinters. I needed to watch out for a couple riders and make sure they didn't gain any time on me. I had only a 1 minute lead so I had to be careful.


I sat in the peloton easily for the beginning of the race with my teammates by my side.

i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/matthew493/Amgen%20Tour%20of%20California/Stage7Meinpeloton.pngi65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/matthew493/Amgen%20Tour%20of%20California/Stage7Mewithteammates.png


A large breakaway picked up a lot of time but had trouble working together which led to the players being caught.

i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/matthew493/Amgen%20Tour%20of%20California/Stage7TheBreak.png


There was still one guy left and he was caught with about 25 kilometers left in the stage.

i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/matthew493/Amgen%20Tour%20of%20California/Stage7Pelotongettingcaught.png


In the end there were only 2 BMC riders left in the peloton, including me, but yet no one got away from the peloton. Hushovd edged out the win over O'Grady for a great win

So with only one stage left and it being extremely flat, I look to hold on to the lead and take the win overall.
