Floyd Landis remains in the lead for the overall time standings. We saw folks that looked like his family in the VIP tent across from where we were watching the race. The race officials are saying that there had been 700,000 spectators so far. They expect a cumulative total to surpass 1,000,000!
Levi hangs out talking to fans (and maybe some press, I saw one guy with a note pad) after the race. (Below)
Lots of people there for the Tour of California inaugural race event. The UCI director was introduced by the announcers. It was fun talking to Bob and Paul and some of the volunteers. Cindi got her ears checked by the Phonac hearing technician. Now I know she can really hear me.
More pictures, I hope, after the race on Sunday. We are staying in Camarillo tonight and looking forward to seeing Floyd when the overall GC.
With the way the stages are set up it would be tough for anyone to move on the leader board. There have been some great break aways, but mostly for sprint and KOM points. I hope that next year the stages will create more of an opportunity for changes in the leaders.
