One month to go and the Amgen Tour of California has announced the 18 professional bicycling teams for the Feb. 18-25 stage race from San Francisco to Long Beach.
The list of cycling teams includes 10 US-based teams and 9 teams on the UCI Pro Tour.
I'm looking forward to this. Last year's inaugural race included wins by George Hincapie for Discovery and Levi Leipheimer, above, for Gerolsteiner (he's now with Discovery also).
The biggest surprise of the race was Juan José (J.J.) Haedo, an Argentinian champion who won two stages for Toyota-United Pro Cycling team at last year's ToC and has jumped to Team CSC, which is sending a team this year.
Notably absent in 2007 will be overall winner Floyd Landis, who is fighting blood doping charges.
