Re: [digitalusersgroup] big time cycle racing California...

Steve:
Nice PJ-style images. I'd have preferred more separation between riders and crowd, either with DOF blur or a lower vantage point, but I know you can't always get the position you want.
Didn't make it to the San Jose stage Wednesday. Leipheimer still has the overall points lead.
Landis kind of soured me on road cycling. Until he comes up with evidence of flawed testing for both his A and B urine samples at stage 17 of the 2006 Tour, the results say he doped. No amount of fancy legal dancing can change that, just fact. 

There's been too much cheating in the sport.

The Amgen Tour of California 2007, is occurring this week. I was at
the stage two sprint final in downtown Sacramento...around the
Capitol and the park, completing more that 100 miles of racing on
that day.

First, the front of the peleton last lap...the eventual winner JJ
Haedo is seen in fifth place.

Haedo comes by...

The race is just over, and JJ Haedo is on the left,  has a smile on
his face...

Haedo has won three stages of the Tour of California (two last
year)... he's from Argentina and rides for CSC, the top cycle team in
the world right now....

Many teams here are headed to the Tour de France, later this year...

(btw...Pentax K10D....)

thanks for looking...

Steve
