Race aficionados analyzing the 2008 course are excited about the addition of two impressive climbs to the Tour of California. Stage 3 now includes 4360′ Mount Hamilton, and the final stage heads up 4906′ Mill Creek Summit.
Depending on race and team dynamics, the 2008 course seems likely to favor defending champion Levi Leipheimer, now riding for Astana.
"Levi Leipheimer's move to Astana is now official and he will join ex-Discovery Channel team manager Johan Bruyneel and Tour de France winner Alberto Contador at the new-look Astana team for 2008."
