Landis snød Team CSC

nullFloyd Landis sikrede sig føringen i Tour of California, da han relativt sikkert vandt løbets 27 km. lange enkeltstart foran Team CSC rytterne David Zabriskie og Bobby Julich. I det hele taget leverede Team CSC en ganske imponerende indsats og fik hele syv ryttere ind blandt de 21 første på etapen.

Landis vandt godt nok enkeltstarten, men den blev domineret og ført af Team CSC næsten fra starten til mål. Den danske mester Lars Bak lagde sig tidligt i spidsen af enkelstarten. Danskeren tid blev dog slået af holdkammerateren Stuart O'Grady, og da Team CSCs Fabian Cancellara kom i mål blev tiderne slået klart. Team CSCs nye schweizer kørte i tiden 37.01, hvilket var næsten 45 sekunder hurtigere end Stuart O'Grady. Team CSCs tidligere russer, Vladmir Gusev (Discovery), var dog utroligt tæt på at slå CSC-rytterens tid, men med mindre end et sekund lykkedes det Cancellara at fastholde føringen.

En føring der holdte længe, men så kom den australske mester Nathan O'Neill susende og slog Cancellara tid med små 6 sekunder, og dermed var Team CSC slået af tronen. Den blev dog eroberet igen af holdets amerikanere, da David Zabriskie satte ny bedste tid med 36.24 foran holdkammeraten Bobby Julich.

Men til sidst måtte begge CSC-ryttere dog se sig slået af Phonaks Floyd Landis, som kom susende og slog klart begge Team CSC-ryttere. Landis kørte i tiden 35.58, hvilket var 26 sekunder hurtigere end Zabriskie, samlet er det netop også Landis, der fører.
