Follow Tour of California on Twitter

Following the Amgen Tour of California on Twitter has been great. It's showing, again, the value of the 'crowd'. There's been a couple of nifty scoops: Johan Bruyneel's tweets on stage 1 were more accurate than many cycling sites who were relying on bad info from radio tour - in fairness the weather was horrible that day causing unreliable radio and cell communicaitons. The twitteratti got the scoop on when Lance's stolen time bike was recovered. There are some fantastic insiders to follow mostly Garmin's Allen Lim and Bruyneel, but here's a list of key biggies to check out:

• Allen Lim
• Johan Bruyneel
• Team OUCH
• Rock Racing
• Team Type 1
• Bike Radar
• Road Magazine
• VelonewsLive

Not sure why Garmin-Slipstream isn't twittering so much at the ToC, they are usually the best team to do updates? Of the official team twitters, OUCH, is the best. And for a team noted for edginess Rock Racing's are the most boring and corporate!

Of course no riders Twitter during the race, but the post race tweets are always good from Lance himself.
