I that is accurate then Rock has a very large budget. About 10 million euro. That cannot be for this year. It must be planned for next season.

Ah ok, thanks. Those things didn't exist when I was at the factory.

If I remember correctly, Ronald Reagan himself was a great fan of jellybellies (which was at that time only a small, local CA factory). He brought them with him to Washington in 1980 which gave jellybellies national recognition and boosted their sales enormously. In the factory, they have a few Reagan memorabilia.

Anyway, back on track with the thread. Let's talk Tour de California. I like this tour very much because (i) I can watch it on TV, and (ii) I lived in the Bay Area (East Bay/Tri Valley) for some years, so I know some of the terrain very well. There's a lot of steep country roads with long and difficult climbs. It's nice to watch the pros going up there.

Funny you mention Jelly Belly as I just finished the last few from a bag.

So I take it that Team Type 1 didn't get an invite? Or are there still places up for grabs? I thought Team Type 1 were trying to compete well in the Tour Down Under to earn an invite to the ToC (ref. Cyclingheroes interview of Matt Wilson)?

After the no antidoping fight of last year, organisers seem to want to do well this year:

Is this the first race of this kind to employ this level of extensive testing, or is this common in other races too?
