Wiki races[edit]

Levi Lepheimer[edit]

Colorado Cyclist and Saturn (1997–1999)[edit]

Leipheimer turned professional in 1997 with the Colorado Cyclist team. In 1998, he changed teams and was hired by Team Saturn, with which he won the U.S. National Time Trial Championship in 1999.

U.S. Postal (2000–2001)[edit]

Leipheimer joined the U.S. Postal Service team in 2000. His breakthrough came in the 2001 Vuelta a España, his first Grand Tour, in which he was riding in support of team leader Roberto Heras. Going into the final stage, an individual time trial in Madrid, Leipheimer was fifth, trailing his leader, who was third, by about a minute. During that time trial, Leipheimer moved ahead of two riders, including Heras, in the general classification to finish third overall, the first American to reach the podium in the Vuelta.

Rabobank (2002–2004)[edit]

He joined Dutch team Rabobank in 2002, and he finished 8th in his first Tour de France.

Leipheimer represented the United States in the 2004 Athens Olympics road race, but did not finish. He finished 9th in the 2004 Tour de France.

Gerolsteiner (2005–2006)[edit]

Riding for the German team Gerolsteiner, Leipheimer finished 6th in the 2005 Tour de France. On August 23, 2005, Leipheimer won the Deutschland Tour by 31 seconds, ahead of T-Mobile Team's Jan Ullrich and Gerolsteiner teammate Georg Totschnig. He had solidified his lead by defeating Ullrich in stage four on the Rettenbachferner, the highest climb in European racing that year at 2,670m.

In February 2006, Leipheimer was a favorite to win the inaugural Tour of California. He took the leader's golden jersey on the first day by winning the prologue to San Francisco's Coit Tower, but eventually finished sixth behind Floyd Landis and won the competition for best climber.

Leipheimer won the 2006 Dauphiné Libéré, having gained the overall lead on the stage to Mont Ventoux. He was considered a contender in the 2006 Tour de France after several favorites, including Ivan Basso and Jan Ullrich, were suspended because of the Operación Puerto doping case: Leipheimer, who had been sixth the previous year, was the highest-placed rider returning. However, his final position was 12th, 18 and a half minutes behind winner Floyd Landis.

Team Discovery (2007)[edit]

Leipheimer follows race leader George Hincapie in 2007 Tour of Missouri

Leipheimer re-signed with Tailwind Sports Corp. and Capital Sports & Entertainment, managing companies for the U.S. Postal and, later, the Discovery Channel cycling teams. Leipheimer was team leader in the 2007 Tour of California, which he won after leading the race from start to finish. In the Paris-Nice race, he supported teammate Alberto Contador, who won. He placed third in the 2007 Tour de France[1] finishing 31 seconds behind the winner, Alberto Contador[2]. Leipheimer also won stage 19, the last individual time trial.[3] Discovery Channel disbanded at the end of the season. Leipheimer won the 2007 USA road championship, 1m 11s ahead of Discovery teammate and defending champion George Hincapie.

Toby Evans (born 21 July 2004) is a New Zealand racing cyclist riding for amateur team CR4C Roanne.[1]

Career[edit]

In 2022 an amateur race was held the Beehive Classic Gran Fondo. Evans completed the 100km course in 2 hours 42 minutes beating second place by almost 10 minutes.[2] While at the Tour de l'Abitibi in Canada with the New Zealand National team, Evans finished sixth overall. As New Zealand was the only team without Time trial bicycles Evans lost over one minute in the 10km time trial. This allowed Evans to be aggressive and attacking the following stages to get into the top-10.[3] Evans was selected to ride the junior road race at the UCI Road World Championships along with two others.[4] He was the only Kiwi to start the race as his teammates did not start, Evans finished the race in 49th 11' 50" down on the winner.[5]

Classification leadership table[edit]

There were four main classifications contested in the 1997 Vuelta a España, with the most important being the general classification. The general classification was calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage. The cyclist with the least accumulated time was the race leader, identified by the yellow jersey; the winner of this classification was considered the winner of the Vuelta. In 1997, there were time bonuses given on mass-start stages; 12 seconds were awarded to the stage winner, with eight for second and four for third.

Additionally, there was a points classification, which awarded a rose colored jersey. In the points classification, cyclists get points for finishing among the best in a stage finish, or in intermediate sprints. The cyclist with the most points led the classification, and is identified with a green jersey. There was also a mountains classification. The organisation categorised some climbs as either Categoria Especial, first, second or third category; points for this classification were won by the first cyclists that reach the top of these climbs, with more points available for the higher-categorised climbs. The cyclist with the most points led the classification, and was identified with a white jersey.

The fourth individual classification was the Sprints classification, marked by the blue jersey. This classification was similar to the Intermediate sprints classification in the Tour de France where points were given in the middle of the stage. The rider with the most points over all the stages won the classification.

For the team classification, the times of the best three cyclists per team on each stage were added; the leading team is the team with the lowest total time.
