Notes: (latest notes always appear at the top) - VERSUS, "The - Laura: "Photo upload at halfway point of completion. Will leave it running while shooting the breakaway and peloton as they pass." - Laura: "The breakaway riders are about 5 minutes from our current location. Go Go Go" - Our photo team just called in: They are uploading shots they took of both the breakaway and the peloton on Patterson Pass Road. (They found the windmills.) Media pass and smiles are doing wonders for getting through police barriers as they drive from location to location. Will post a pic shortly. Carlos said that the 4 breakaway riders (Mollema (Rabobank), Vandborg (Liquigas), Louder (BMC Racing Team) and White (OUCH)) oddly didn't appear to be going all out. Carlos added that Laura now wants to shoot the Giro d'Italia! - LIVE coverage, current situation: Live video streaming on Tour Tracker and on cycling.tv. Live audio feeds playing on Eurosport. Versus TV is also showing the race live in the U.S. - Have gotten way behind in posting photo galleries, but they're coming. (Picked a heck of a week to get sick; 8 trans-Atlantic flights in just over 12 months will do that to you. And unfortunately I don't have an IT department!) Our photo team Laura and Carlos reported in an hour or so ago saying they were looking for windmill/peloton shots. If they get something and are able to get a wireless modem connection, I'll post a pic before the stage finish. -Pete - More Tour of California video clips and highlights coming up shortly. - Today's Tour of California Stage 3 departs San José at 12pm PST (3pm U.S. Eastern or 21:00 CET).
