Tour Of California Opening Stage Postponed

Last updated : 16 May 2011 By Kev Monks

The opening stage of the AMGEM Tour Of California was cancelled today due to the weather.

The race should have started with a 191 kilometres route stage around  Lake Tahoe. However, overnight snow and a drop in temperatures saw the race shortened to 80km and the start time delays.

A few minutes after the race was due to start word was reached that the stage had been cancelled.

Stage two on Monday is from a 214km stage rom Squaw Valley to Sacramento.
