Tour of California Wrap-Up
by matt at 6:00 am on February 27th, 2008 in GeneralSince a few people wrote in for more cycling coverage (one of them even in comments), I figured I’d make them happy. The 2008 Amgen Tour of California wrapped up on Sunday at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA. George Hincapie won a very exciting final stage in a total downpour, and Levi Leipheimer repeated as the overall winner.
Some photos:

J.J. Haedo and Mark Cavendish reach for the line
Dimitri Champion rehydrates
Rory Sutherland battled Hincapie to the end, but settled for second
Early in the final stage, the peloton snakes through Soledad Canyon
More of my photos from the Tour are here.
And here’s what it looks like when I work (courtesy of Jamie Beth):
