Levi takes it!

Levi Leipheimer just won his second Amgen Tour of California in a row. I haven't been able to follow the whole race, but it looks like online coverage was pretty cool this year: picture in picture streaming video with the ability to switch between cameras in real time, course overviews, chat, and current standings. This race, given its coverage, course, and participants, isn't just world class, it's easily one of the best 'new' events in professional cycling.

The image is a screenshot of the race site - the cyclist is George Hincapie winning the final stage, stage 7, after a hard fight to overcome a really impressive breakaway by a guy I hadn't heard of before, Tom Zirbel.
