TOP: Da Governator with local pol
2nd: Peloton sprinting through the downtown circuit. This was at about 40 mph
3rd: Tom Boonen as race winner
4th: "Super Mario" Cippolini, one of my all time favorite sprinters. Took 3rd place at about 40+ years old.

We sprinted into Sacramento just ahead of the peloton, parked, and made a dash to get inside the finishing circuit. We were able to get within about 1/2 block of the actual finish line. Wild action, 3 circuits with the lead changing nearly every minute, and sprinter leadouts all jockying for position. It came down to a Bettini, Cavendish, Cippolini in a mad dash for the line, with Boonen using his 6'4' frame to power for the win. An awesome finish.

We stayed for the awards, which were very cool with Da Governator himself coming out of the statehouse, to big applause, and presenting the awards.

An exciting, fast paced day indeed. Tomorrow, we'll take another day easy before catching back up to the race.
