This was the Tour of doubles, first Juan José Haedo, then George Hincapie and now Olaf Pollack. The T-Mobile man out gunned the Phonak and Team CSC boys on the final day's sprint in Redondo Beach. No-Fuss Floyd Landis stayed cool in the peloton and came home the first ever winner of the Tour of California.

An escape of four riders spent time away but were eventually caught with near 7K left. Pollack, who also won the previous day's stage, continued his sprinting ways over JJ Haedo (Toyota-United Pro) and teammate André Greipel.
