It may not be July or France, but the 2007 Edition of the Amgen Tour of California is loaded with some of procycling's heavy hitters. For those who have always wanted to see high level cycling up close, but couldn't afford the ever escalating prices to do a cycling tour in France during the TDF, the Tour of California is quickly becoming a European favorite. Let's all hope that the shelf life for this American tour is longer than some of its predecessors, a la The (Red Zinger) Coors Classic.
Some of the notables:
Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team (USA)
Ivan Basso (I)
Antonio "Tony" Cruz (USA)
Tom Danielson (USA)
George Hincapie (USA)
Levi Leipheimer (USA)
Jason McCartney (USA)
