The inaugural Amgen Tour of California, February 19-26, 2006 will bring the drama and excitement of a professional bicycle stage race to the California coast. The world's top professional teams will compete over an eight-day, 600-mile course that includes the beautiful California redwoods, rolling wine country and the breathtaking Pacific Coastline. There will be some big name (Hincapie, Landis, Leipheimer, Basso, Danielson, etc...) cyclists riding in this event using it as a springboard into the European Spring Classics beginning in March.
Ironically Amgen is a pharmaceutical drug manufacturer, where I believe one of their products (EPO) is banned from competitive athletics…. :blink:
