At the start of our ride this morning, just heading out, we were stopped by a guy from Versus who was shooting a spot for the Tour. he had us ride toward and past his camera. Well, I just fired up the recorded footage from today's race and saw it in the intro!

There's a spot right after they show the arched sign for "Old Sacramento" where 4 riders are heading toward the camera, riding on sandy colored ground (actually, it is sand and small gravel). I'm in the light blue jacket, 2nd from the left. Nachomc is in dark blue on the left. Redspoke in bright yellow. And Alex behind Redspoke.

Excellent (even though it lasted all of about 3 seconds)!

A Youtubed version would be cool, but does anyone at least have the ability to take a screenshot? No cable or DVR here.

I can't do that. Maybe someone else can.

I also saw myself and the kids during a couple of the riders. That was neat. We went by in a flash.
