Tour of California Stage One: Mark Canvedish finishes first

The fifth Amgen tour of California saw Mark Cavendish win the first stage. The race began at Nevada City and ended in downtown Sacramento. The race had loads of action and drama with a five-man pile up during the race and an exhausted Cavendish crossing the finish line before the rest.

Just half a mile into the race and a spectacle was witnessed where bikes were crashing and bouncing off the lanes and down came Tom Boonen, George Hincapie, Stuart O'Grady, Andrew Pinfold and Dominique Rollin. England's Mark Cavendish won the 101.4 mile long Stage one in 4 hours, 4 minutes, 36 seconds.

Runner up JJ Haedo of Saxo Bank said, “To beat Mark Cavendish is not as easy as it looks on TV. The pressure is off now for me.” The second stage of the race will be from Davis to Santa Rosa today, and then will move on to Santa Cruz and San Jose. The five involved in the pile up are relatively unscathed, escaping with mere bruises and minor injuries. They are expected to race the following day.

“The circuit itself isn't dangerous,” Cavendish said of the final four laps around the gleaming white Capitol. "It is the mayhem that is going on that is dangerous." He crossed the finish line without much pomp and show, simply raising his arms. “I don't think about my celebrations too much,” Cavendish said.

Cavendish lauded his teammates, explaining that without their teamwork the victory would not have been possible. He said, “I trust those guys in front of me. I know if I am delivered to the right place, I will cross the line first.” Jonathan Vaughters, manager of Team Garmin-Transitions said, “They're structured to help Cavendish. Their guys are built to help on the flat stages.”

Pro - Boxing bouts full of juice keep happy fans entertained

Professional boxing fights are known to be bloody and full of gore. The famed KO (knock out) pulls in a lot respect for this sport. Three bouts really were the crème de la crème of them all. Katsidis took on Mitchell, Ortiz and Campbell go head to head and last but certainly not the least – Amir Khan duels with Malignaggi.

The Katsidis vs. Mitchell fight was supposed to be one sided. It was like a man vs. boy fight, but Katsidis trounced Mitchell. Though it was home turf for Mitchell, Katsidis’ power was quickly brought to use. He landed punches by the dozen and they all hit the bull’s eye. Mitchell, eventually, crumpled up and accepted defeat in the 3rd round itself. This win over a favourite contender should really keep Katsidis’ spirit up for the next matches.

Ortiz took on Campbell and the fight looked pretty even, if you ask me. But as the clock moved further, Campbell started showing signs that maybe his age was getting to him. He looked burly compared to the agile and swift Ortiz. He went down easily, handing Ortiz a relatively easy win.

Well, the Khan vs. Magnaggi fight was a well fought one, stretching into the 11th round. But as expected, Khan dominated the fight right from the start. He failed to hit the target initially, but as it all sped up Magnaggi could only keep his guards high while Amir Khan sent punch after punch on the face, making Magnaggi’s head loll back. But it took Khan 11 rounds to convincingly defeat Magnaggi. The fights got the crowds racing, leaving a few disappointed, heart broken but nonetheless happy spectators.
