www.BikeWearWorld.com and www.uRide.tv are on location in Visalia, California for Stage 5 of the AMGEN Tour of California. It was pretty bad to have a 20man crash within minutes of the start of the 121 mile stage race. One of the men down in the crash was Lance Armstrong again!!! We believe in fairy tales and that our legendary hero/ icon will muster up as much power and enthusiasm to get back in the saddle and ride off into the sunset for us...To all the other guys who powered through this course..."amazing" according to spokesman Jeff Roake, calling the course one of the toughest so far with a crit style finish including an uphill battle to the finish line. The course shots that we got looked as though the peloton was sitting up enjoying good conversations and coffee along the way! I think they are mentally gearing up for LA...Watch out LA, the peloton have something in store for you. Grab as many people as possible to come in and witness history being made! Stage 5 visalia to bakersfield... we love this tour! oh...ps, PETER SAGAN kicked some ASS!
