bluegoose is on a distinguished road
Default Tour of California host cities announced

http://www.amgentourofcalifornia.com...announced.html

For some reason, they've decided against doing to Prologue in SF up Koit Tower hill again. Thats too bad, I kind of like that route.

Just as I've said the past 2 years, I would love to catch one of the stages while they are still up in Northern California, possibly Santa Rosa to Sacramento on Tuesday. We'll see.

From what I read Palo ALto pushed hard to get the prologue and SF didn't care. I suspect here are finanical considerations involved.

What company benefits more from bike racing that EPO's manufacturer?
