- Ligne n°134 :
- Ligne n°135 : Peter Stetina is an American cyclist riding in one of the premier
- Ligne n°136 : events in his home country for a U.S.-based team against a field filled
- Ligne n°137 : with mostly European rivals.
- Ligne n°138 :
- Ligne n°139 : No pressure, right?
- Ligne n°140 :
- Ligne n°141 : The youngster from the BMC Racing Team will try to defend the title won
- Ligne n°142 : by teammate Tejay van Garderen last season when he starts the Tour of
- Ligne n°143 : California on Sunday in Sacramento. But he will be doing more than just
- Ligne n°144 : that: He'll be trying to defend the home turf.
- Ligne n°145 :
- Ligne n°146 : While the Giro d'Italia is drawing worldwide attention the next three
- Ligne n°147 : weeks as one of the sport's three grand tours, and the Tour de France
- Ligne n°148 : looms later this summer as its premier race, the Tour of California is
- Ligne n°149 : one of the rare opportunities for American riders to stay at home.
- Ligne n°150 : British star Bradly Wiggins and Slovakian sprinter Peter Sagan are the
- Ligne n°151 : ones forced to travel.
- Ligne n°152 :
- Ligne n°153 : "We're always racing in Europe, and you have that extra motivation and
- Ligne n°154 : you go that much deeper when you are at your home race," Stetina told
- Ligne n°155 : The Associated Press on Friday. "I live in Santa Rosa. My friends are
- Ligne n°156 : coming out to visit, and everybody is getting ready for this race, even
- Ligne n°157 : more so than the Tour de France. But it's all good energy."
- Ligne n°158 :
- Ligne n°159 : The USA Pro Challenge in Colorado has grown into another significant
- Ligne n°160 : American race, but it still does not have the history of the Tour of
- Ligne n°161 : California. Now in its ninth year, it has grown from a largely
- Ligne n°162 : continental event into one that attracts some of the best international
- Ligne n°163 : riders.
- Ligne n°164 :
- Ligne n°165 : Wiggins, the former Tour de France champion, will be at the start line.
- Ligne n°166 : So will Sagan and sprint rival Mark Cavendish. Belgian rider Tom Boonen
- Ligne n°167 : and Dutch rider Laurens ten Dam are also in the field, choosing to ride
- Ligne n°168 : along the Pacific coast rather than in the mountains of Italy.
- Ligne n°169 :
- Ligne n°170 : In other words, plenty of opportunities for American riders to upstage
- Ligne n°171 : them.
- Ligne n°172 :
- Ligne n°173 : "A lot of teams want to come here, which is another important thing. It
- Ligne n°174 : says a lot about the race," said Taylor Phinney, a teammate of Stetina
- Ligne n°175 : on the BMC Racing Team and a member of the U.S. team at the London
- Ligne n°176 : Olympics. "There's always a really positive vibe."
- Ligne n°177 :
- Ligne n°178 : The race is a big one not only for Stetina and Phinney, but also their
- Ligne n°179 : team. They may ride Swiss-made bikes, but the team itself is run by
- Ligne n°180 : American cycling guru Jim Ochowicz, and it is based in Santa Rosa, less
- Ligne n°181 : than 100 miles from where the Tour of California will depart.
- Ligne n°182 :
- Ligne n°183 : "We have a very balanced and motivated team," BMC Racing Team sport
- Ligne n°184 : director Max Sciandri said. "The guys will be working hard around Peter
- Ligne n°185 : and we have Taylor there for the time trial, plus everyone will be
- Ligne n°186 : stage hunting in a way."
- Ligne n°187 :
- Ligne n°188 : There are other American teams — Garmin-Sharp, Trek Factory Racing and
- Ligne n°189 : UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team, among them. And even some
- Ligne n°190 : international teams, such as Netherlands-based Belkin Pro Cycling, have
- Ligne n°191 : U.S. sponsors that are eager for to see their colors flying at home.
- Ligne n°192 :
- Ligne n°193 : Belkin is a consumer electronics manufacturer based in Los Angeles.
- Ligne n°194 :
- Ligne n°195 : "This is the Tour de France of the United States and we would like to
- Ligne n°196 : make our sponsor proud," Belkin sports director Nico Verhoeven said.
- Ligne n°197 : "We'll try to do what we always do. We aim to ride an attacking and
- Ligne n°198 : attractive race, and hopefully we can bag some results."
- Ligne n°199 :
- Ligne n°200 : Cycling always seems to circle back to the individual riders, though.
- Ligne n°201 : They're the stars of the show. And it's no different at this year's
- Ligne n°202 : Tour of California.
- Ligne n°203 :
- Ligne n°204 : Stetina may have the best shot among Americans of landing atop the
- Ligne n°205 : general classification, but up-and-coming riders such as Joe Dombrowski
- Ligne n°206 : — who will be riding in support of Wiggins on Team Sky — and Lawson
- Ligne n°207 : Craddock of Giant-Shimano will have a chance to carve out their own
- Ligne n°208 : names.
- Ligne n°209 :
- Ligne n°210 : They will be doing it in a race where their countrymen have generally
- Ligne n°211 : fared well. Floyd Landis won the first race in 2006, Levi Leipheimer
- Ligne n°212 : swept the next three, and Chris Horner stood atop the podium in 2011.
- Ligne n°213 : In fact, only Australian rider Michael Rogers and Dutch star Robert
- Ligne n°214 : Gesink have been able to put a crimp in the American dominance.
- Ligne n°215 :
- Ligne n°216 : "Our team and every other American team, for sure, they treat this like
- Ligne n°217 : it's one of the biggest races," Stetina said. "You always got to show
- Ligne n°218 : up and represent when you're in your home state. We have the home-court
- Ligne n°219 : advantage and we have to make use of that."
