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.

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
