The third stage of the 2009 Amgen Tour of California proved to be a charm for the Colavita/Sutter Home Men’s Cycling Team presented by Cooking Light. Despite the continued rain and cold, Sebastian Haedo took his place among the world’s top sprinters with a 7th place finish in the field sprint in the 104.2 mile stage from San Jose to Modesto. Colavita/Sutter Home’s Luis Amaran maintains his position in the top third of the overall ranking among the best cyclists in the world (#33), less than one second behind Floyd Landis (Team OUCH) and Christian Vandevelde (Garmin-Slipstream).

Thanks to the tremendous team effort, Colavita/Sutter Home is now #1 among the UCI Continental squads and 8th out of 17 in the overall team ranking. Racing continues today with the 115.4-mile Stage 4 race from Merced to Clovis, which includes four KOM competitions over hilly and technical terrain.
