MORE STAGE 1

       The race line up was exciting as the big dogs rolled to the start line.  They individually announced eight riders which comprised most of the big names with the exception of a few.  Floyd was obviously missing from this callout but he was probably spending his time being nice to the spectators.  It took Lance several minutes to make it to the line from when they announced him due to the throngs of reporters and spectators mobbing him.
