Thought I would share a few snaps of the finish of Stage 2.

Hey, it's defending champ Floyd Landis! Where's your bike, Floyd?

The peleton sweeps into Downtown Sacramento.

The crowd was thick at the finish, so I mostly saw it on the big screen set up at 10th and L, kitty corner from the State Capitol:

The podium, with special guest star Arnold Schwarzenegger:

You were too busy taking pictures of their bikes when you should have been riding them like you stole them! :p

My son and I were leaving and happened by the Discovery bus. There was a small crowd so we stopped and saw George sitting in the jump seat over the steps and then Basso came out for a pic! Thanks for the above pics caloso, you obviously had a better plan for where to be than I did! haha.

We watched at first from the turn at the top of the Capital mall and then we were on the finishing straight. Domestique, there were an incredible amount of beautiful bikes everywhere you looked!

Caloso, thanks for the pics. I was actually there at the doping trailer at the same time as you. After Levi left he and his support went over towards the Hyatt. While support was loading his bike on the roof rack, Levi took the bottles off, finished them, and then gave them away. I got one and he signed it, so the pic of the bike is extra cool to me.

That's awesome. You probably wouldn't remember, but I was the guy in the blue shirt and tie, looking like he snuck out of work for a very long lunch. Luckily, my boss knows what I bike nut I am and didn't blink when I walked back in the office close to 4.

I watched the coverage on Versus....I've never been to an event like this. It was amazing! Where are Paul, Phil and Bob during the action?

I kept looking for them but never caught a glimpse. But a coworker said she saw Bob Roll getting coffee at LaBou.
