My Distractions
Thursday, May 17, 2012 at 8:50 PM Bakersfield put on its best face today for the Amgen Tour of California time trials. I was out at the event and will be posting some photos in the coming days. But here's a nice video from The Californian's Louis Amestoy that summarizes what was a fun day, and even catches a TV star hanging in the background.
Thursday, May 20, 2010 at 11:14 PM Riveting viewing of the aftermath of Lance Armstrong's crash today in the Amgen Tour of California.
Some interesting discussions between a clearly shaken Armstrong, team staff and a doctor.
I'm a cycling novice but was struck by a key staffer's Team Manager Johan Bruyneel's question whether other team riders could slow the race down so Armstrong could get back into the thick of the action.
In Bakersfield, we were bummed he fell out of the race but there was more than enough buzz for the event to be a success.
