The Pacific Coast Highway, completely shuttered for a bike race, was a sight to behold. Evan Huffman's breakaway passes Mugu Point.

In a cool twist, the peloton rolled through some familiar territory in downtown Oxnard, the home of the team's training camp seven years running.

The ram horn helmet guy has reached ubiquity. He has attended every American "Big Three" stage race start to finish since the team's inception nearly ten years ago. 

Ram horn guy may have some new competition from inflatable bull suit guy. A new rivalry is born at the Amgen Tour of California.

The man behind the lens – Casey Gibson has been shooting bike racing for thirty years and is the team's "photo moto" guy.

After a day in the break, Evan Huffman takes a moment refuel a few Clif Shots. The riders must strike a delicate balance when hunger pangs strike on the bike.
