Now that’s racing! 105 miles from Santa Barbara to Santa Clarita gives us the best competition of the week. CSC and Discovery go mano-a-mano. The battle goes to CSC, but Discovery still rules the war.

Stage 3 was tough, but Leipheimer always said that the race would come down to Friday's 23.5k TT - and right he was - and right he was to be confident in his chances today. Levi rode, arguably, the time trial of his career to not only defend his lead, but win the stage and widen it, and stamp his authority all over 'his' race.

Thursday's almost ridiculously beautiful trip along California's Highway 1 resulted in the expected bunch sprint, but the usual suspects were pushed back today and instead it was two World Champions duking it out on the line: Elite Champ, Paolo Bettini, and U23 Champ, Gerald Ciolek.

There's just something about Jens Voigt that appeals to race fans everywhere - he races hard (really hard), and he's tough (really tough), and he's aggressive (really aggressive). Once again, Voigt's appetite for bike racin was in full effect. Enough superlatives, it was a fine day of racing - Voigt took the win, Levi still in the lead.

Stage 2 of the 2007 Tour of California saw the race head the furthest inland itпїЅs ever been - all the way to the capital of Sacramento. Chris Gutowsky was calling the action from race moto 1 and hereпїЅs how it lookedпїЅ

VeloSport Vacation's Chris Gutowsky is on the lead moto at the Tour of California, and he'll be providing an insider's account of the action everyday. Yesterday's Stage 1 was quite a race - Chris takes us inside...

Mega carnage, mega controversy. 50 guys go down in a heap in the closing miles…but Levi Leipheimer retains the lead. The furious finish can't dull an otherwise bright NorCal day, as the riders wind their way up the California coast from Sausalito to Santa Rosa.

The race is over in less than five minutes…whoosh! But there was a whole day of pre-race prep and posing before Levi launched his way to the finish of the Tour of California TT. Want to see the stuff that only PEZ can show you? C’mon along for the ride...

To tell you the truth it wasn't the best night of racing ever, but given that the hall goes from being sub-tropical to Arctic in three seconds and we're down to 10 teams from 13 due to crashes and illness; the place is only 20% full and it's end of term, maybe it's not surprising. Then again, the win wasn't decided until the final madison very late into the night...
