About the
Amgen Tour of California
The Amgen Tour of California is America's largest
international professional cycling race, ranked by teams
and viewers as the third best stage race in the world
behind the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia.
Running from May 13-20, 2012, the 8-day Amgen
Tour of California will showcase more than 800 miles
of scenic California roadways, mountains, coastlines
and iconic settings. The 13 official stage start and finish
communities that have been selected for the 2012 race
include Santa Rosa, San Francisco, Santa Cruz County,
San Jose, Livermore, Sonora, Clovis, Bakersfield,
Palmdale, Big Bear Lake, Ontario, Mt. Baldy and Los
Angeles.
As America's most successful cycling race, it is one
of two American races listed as a UCI.2HC event on
the international professional cycling calendar. The
Tour awards important, world-ranking points to
top finishers, and promises to bring the drama and
excitement of professional cycling to California for the
seventh consecutive year in 2012.
Teams and riders participating in the race will
include top competitors from recent Tour de France
competitions, world champions, Olympic medalists and
the best young riders now competing.
Continuing to set records in attendance for a single
sporting event in California, last year's Tour drew more
than 2 million spectators. Fans and enthusiasts from
around the world tuned in to the action via nightly
television broadcasts and the race's award-winning
Web site.
