Tour of CA route Info posted
Tue, 01/17/2006 - 3:50pm
The details of each stage are now available on the TOC web site at
http://www.amgentourofcalifornia.com/route.html
Looks like East Bay riders will know several of the roads used on stage 2 as the race will go through Lafayette, Moraga up South Pinehurst, out along Redwood Road to Castro Valley. NO climb up Hamilton but the race will go up sierra Grade in the major climb of the day.
I remember seeing an announcement by Discovery of their TOC roster, and the names I recall are George Hincapie, Tom Danielson, V. Ekimov, and I think Popovich. I don't recall the other 4.
Other racers I have heard are:
Levi Leipheimer of Gerolsteiner
Bobby Julich and Jens Voight of CSC (although Voight just crashed...)
Chris Horner
Gilberto Simoni
Freddy Rodriguez
Floyd Landis?
Have the Teams in the TOC posted any where the names of the riders who are going to ride in the TOC. I can not find any info on their web sites at this time :?
Anyone who is thinking about spectating at any of the Tour of CA road stages might fins the following Info helpful http://www.scnca.org/2006calendar.htm Scroll down to the TOC stages and click the links. There you will find the route sheep Info the event promoters are using to plan when each stage starts, when the stage will reach certain points along the route and when the stage should finish. The Sheets also note where the KOMs and Sprints will be located.
