The circuit race was fun because it went by everyone 9 times. From where I got to stand, it went by 18 times as I watched them go by headed south, and then north on their way back home to the finish/start line area. The predicted rain is still on its way, but the weather all day was perfect as it was for the whole week.
I couldn't get so close to the awards stage on Sunday.
Congratulations to Floyd Landis the overall race leader. George Hincapie was the sprint competition leader; King of the Mountain winner is Levi Leipheimer; Thomas Peterson is best young rider.
Instead of tossing his flowers into the crowd as is traditional, Floyd Landis handed his to his daughter (about 10 years old). Great crowd. Everyone was having fun. My feet hurt. We are home.
Yea for you guys. Sounds like you saw a lot of the race from both directions. It was amazing that the lead group was caught. Wasn't it a great event.
