Among the topics in today’s show:

  • Some newspapers allege that Tour of California organizers chose to leave EPO out of 2006 drug tests. The not-so-subtle implication is that it has something to do with the fact that Amgen makes EPO.
  • Prologue Results including Phil Ligget’s musings on the time keepers vis-a-vis Jason Donald’s amazing early results.
  • Stage 1 Results including comments about the crowds, Dave Zabriskie’s crash, the horrific crash near the finish, and comments from the post-race press conference.

  • Interview with Chuck Hodge, Tour of California technical director.
  • Interview with Sammarye Lewis
