Mark Cavendish and Peter Sagan started side by side in Nevada City, and they complete Stage 2 of the Amgen Tour of California side by side and knackered after their sprint to the finish line in Lodi, CA today. View image | gettyimages.com

Stage 3 for the Amgen Tour of California starts and ends in the city of San Jose on Tuesday, May 12, 2015. I have a press pass and need your help deciding where to park myself for photos. Can I make it to both the start and to the top Mt. Hamilton for photos?
I participated in the latest edition of The Spokesmen Cycling Roundtable Podcast that David “Fredcast” Bernstein uploaded last Saturday. We recorded this show during the 2015 Sea Otter Classic with Carlton Reid, Paul Skillbeck, Chipps Chippendale, Julie Kelly, and Gary Fisher.
Happy Monday. Bono of U2 appeared on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last week, where he discussed his infamously gnarly bicycle crash. Opinions may differ, but I think an arm bone poking through the jacket qualifies as “gnarly.”
