The Amgen does a mountain-top finish on Diablo, and I had to miss it due to an unavoidable commitment. Life ain't fair, I tell ya!

Some fantastic photos here. I knew Curtis was pretty darn good at it, but I did not know about Georges' mad skillz.

I agree that having podium girls is anachronistic and sexist. But we are missing the obvious solution: a mix of Podium Girlz and Podium Boyz, all with major make-up, heavily styled hair, and frighteningly tall stiletto heels (to paraphrase a learned sage). "Enhancements" accepted - north of the equator for the Girlz, a bit further south for the Boyz.
