THINGS, 2012 AMGEN TOUR OF CALIFORNIA
STAGE 3 SAN JOSE TO LIVERMORE

The photographs of this stage are from the Points summit of Mount Diablo and the Finish, Awards and Press Conference in Livermore. The Points summit on Mount Diablo was at the intersection of the two roads leading to the summit, one from the south and one from the north, about 4.5 miles, 7.1 kilomoeters, from the actual summit. Thus allowing the Course to climb the south road and decend the north road.
