    Who'll be at the SF Grand Prix?

    Oh, sorry, I mean the 2003 T-Mobile International, presented by BMC Software.

    Apparently not 2 of my favorite posties, George Hincapie and Floyd Landis -- they're off supporting Heras at the Vuelta. I did see that Vinokourov would be there; that'll be cool to see some international competition. Anyone know where info on the 2003 teams is at (the web site shows the 2002 men's teams)?

    Guess I'll be shouting "Go, Robin (Williams), go!" since Hincapie won't be there.

    We're planning on going. We were just debating taking BART or parking at lower Fort Mason and hoofing it over.

    We are planning on going. We are new to California, so if anyone can suggest a good place to watch from, that would be great!

    We'll probably take BART. We'll miss part of the women's race, but it's going to be a long day of spectating anyway. We're thinking about heading over to Fillmore St. first thing (instead of our usual meander all along the course), and I'd really like to see the finish this year too.

    The 2 king of the mountain streets are good viewing spots, since the riders will actually pass at something less than a blur. But it is amazing, too, to see the peloton fly by.

    It was amazing to see the speed as they race along the Embarcadero. Lance dropped out at the 50 mile mark, some 'Posties' are in the chase group with two full laps to go and then they have some "mini laps" before the sprint to the finish. I'm back home watching the finish on the tube. There's a two man breakaway including a Telcom rider, the peloton is about 3:40 back

    The UK's Nicole Cooke, obvioulsy not happy enough with taking the Womens World cup in style last week, went on to win the womens event. It wasn't on TV or anything over here but I checked out a few pics on her website www.nicolecooke.com. Can anything stop this girl? She's incredible!
