2014 AMGEN Tour (Photo – Vahe Simonyan, Staff).
AMGEN Stage 8 day will begin with a 5-mile circuit that incorporates a portion of the 2010 Time Trial route. Upon completing five laps and an hour of racing in downtown L.A., the race will conclude in Pasadena at the Rose Bowl.
The neighborhoods of Downtown L.A., Chinatown, Lincoln Heights, Cypress Park, Mount Washington, Montecito Heights, Highland Park and Eagle Rock will all get a chance to watch the peloton race over their streets.
Entering Pasadena on Colorado Blvd., the Colorado Street Bridge will reprise its 2014 role as a backdrop to the beautiful Arroyo Seco.
As the peloton drops into Arroyo Seco Park and the familiar environs of the Rose Bowl, the riders will do nearly one complete 3.1-mile circuit of the Rose Bowl before reaching the finish line on West Drive.
The lap counter will read seven laps to go, after which the winner of the 2015 Amgen Tour of California will take his place on the podium.
