Sagan wins his fourth stage in a row in the Tour of California. With four kilometers to go, US Time Trial champion Dave Zabriskie (Garmin-Barracuda) rocketed out of the pack and created total panic while giving [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Sandbag theory update: Besides all the racing at the Tour of California, there&#8217;s the con jobs, possum playing and sand bagging. It appears that the Spanish lady who broke Levi Leipheimer&#8217;s leg is just a pawn in an incredible game of high stakes California poker. It&#8217;s a race, it&#8217;s Greek drama. While Levi Leipheimer [...]]]></description>

While Chris Horner (RadioShack Nissan-Trek) and Tejay Van Garderen (BMC Racing) openly wonder about the state of Levi Leipheimer&#8217;s recovery, nobody knows what kind of form Nibali brings to the race. If Levi is sand-bagging &#8212; &#8220;playing possum,&#8221; as Horner says, then what is Nibali thinking? [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; It&#8217;s now official: former RadioShack teammates Chris Horner and Levi Leipheimer don&#8217;t like each other. It&#8217;s the diet lite version of Armstrong and Landis without the doping claims. More like rodent allegations. From the opening pre-race press conference, Horner has been openly suspicious of Leipheimer and the extent of his rival&#8217;s recovery from [...]]]></description>
