wtf was rs doing working at the front of the second group with horner in the lead? 

[hagenar]

@timwaagh My bet: RS were protecting a podium spot in the GC.

If the break got too big of a time gap, then Horner flatted or crashed, Hesjedal would have vaulted past Horner and Leiphiemer into 3rd. It's also possible Popovych was trying to soften Rogers and Zabriskie so Levi could attack them and claim the top spot. The top 5 riders were all within 70 seconds in the final standings.

Canada owns the final day in California via Ryder!

Nice work Hesjedal! Giving us Canadians someone to talk about in the peloton other than domestique Barry.

Awesome win.

You should be asking how Hincapie can even keep up, he's getting much older now than the rest of the field.

[aradium66]

Great timing by Hesjedal! Quite an exciting race. As usual Hincapie was way too passive. When is he going to take more control and attack or at least try something. He seems to always wait and watch others take initiative. Don't get me wrong... I cheer for the dude and hope he will one day finally win a classic. But it is quite frustrating seeing him be so passive!

Hesjedal seems to be underestimated. Also by myself.

Does the winner get free epo for the year?

[lesmcluffalot]

Chris horner knew he had no chance in the sprint so like a true gentleman he gave them all a lead out.
