Amgen Tour of California

Few things can enhance the bike racing spectator experience like knowing the terrain or knowing how to find the finish line to see the action. That's why the sports fans at Google have created a technology resource page that lets you do that and more – even if you can't make it to the race.

Want to check out the road the Time Trial is on? You can do it with Google Earth. Like to use your mobile phone to find out where along the way you can stop for snacks and other refreshments? It's a snap with Google SMS or Local for mobile. Did you miss the latest highlights of the race on ESPN? No problem. You can watch the riders sprint past the finish line on Google Video.
